The rest of the week in crime
As we've lamented in this space before, we miss retired Sun scribe Dick Irwin and the police blotter, but the Baltimore Guide is doing its part to pick up the slack. Here's some excerpts from this week's edition for South and Southeast Baltimore:
"No Good Deed Goes Unpunished" Department:
Belnord Avenue, 400 block, January 16, 8:30 p.m. A man told police that he pulled over to stop a fight between two men he did not know. The men turned on him and hit him in the chest. The man got back in his car to drive away, then later discovered he had been stabbed and went to a local hospital for treatment.
Mt. Pleasant Avenue, 3400 block, January 14, 11:45 p.m. A man told police that his wife and another woman had gotten into a fight. He tried to separate the two women when a third man struck him on the head with a beer bottle, then fled. The wife refused to make a report, but the suspect was arrested later.
"Guide Blotter reporter Jacqueline Watts Correctly Calls you a Lowlife" Department:
Beale Court, 200 block, January 16, 7:30 a.m. Someone broke into a home through a front door and took a TV, two phones, DVDs and a player. The same lowlife also took the elderly resident’s wheelchair."
McElderry Street, 3000 block, January 5, 7:30 p.m. A woman told police that a teenager she knew only as “Spanky” had punched her for no apparent reason.
"Please Leave the Sculptures Alone":
800 block Key Hwy., Monday, Jan. 10, 9:45 a.m.: Two men stole two bronze sculptures from the front of the American Visionary Art Museum. Witnesses chased them, and the suspects dropped the sculptures and ran.
