Eastern Avenue, 4000 block, May 5, 10:10 p.m. A woman told police she and her boyfriend had gotten into an argument because she had asked a man she did not know for a cigarette. The boyfriend attacked her, punching and slapping at her. The woman refused medical attention, and the boyfriend was arrested

Thames Street, 1700 block, May 9, 2:55 a.m. A man told police he had been out on a sailboat with some friends, and that he had been drinking with them. As he was trying to catch a cab home, he was jumped from behind by several men who took his backpack, sweater, phone and $300 cash he happened to be carrying

S. Robinson Street, 200 block, May 10. 6:13 p.m. An elderly woman answered her door and found a suspect described as a black woman wearing all white and riding a black bicycle. The woman told her she was collecting money to help pay the medical expenses of a child who had been bitten in the face by a dog. She asked the elderly woman to wash a container for her. While the elderly woman did so, the suspect robbed her of jewelry and cash, then fled.

S. Eden Street, 400 block, May 9, 10 p.m. A woman told police she had concealed her gun in a floor lamp, and was surprised to discover someone had taken it and the five rounds it was loaded with.

Eastern Avenue, 6400 block, May 9, 1:46 p.m. Someone stole a donation jar filled with change intended to help homeless animals.

About Peter Hermann
Peter Hermann started covering news for The Baltimore Sun in 1990, first in Anne Arundel County and, starting in 1994, reporting on the Baltimore Police Department. In 2001, he was assigned to Jerusalem as the Baltimore Sun's Middle East correspondent. He returned in 2005 as an assistant city editor overseeing crime coverage. In 2008, Peter returned to the beat as a daily reporter and blogger. A recent BBC report featured him in a segment on the harsh realities of covering crime in Baltimore.

Coverage will focus on crime trends, problems in neighborhoods in the city and elsewhere, profiles of victims and police officers and try to offer readers a fresh perspective on one of the most vexing issues facing Baltimore and its future.



Contributing to this blog is Justin Fenton, who joined The Sun in 2005 and has covered the Baltimore City Police Department and the criminal justice system since 2008. His work includes an investigation into Cal Ripken Jr.’s minor league baseball stadium deal with his hometown of Aberdeen, a three-part series chronicling a ruthless con woman, coverage of the killing of five Amish children at a schoolhouse in Nickel Mines, Pa., and a job swap with a British crime reporter to explore differences in crime-fighting. A special report looking into how city police handle rape cases led to sweeping reforms that changed the way sexual assaults are investigated in Baltimore. He was recognized as the best reporter in Baltimore by the City Paper in 2010 and by Baltimore Magazine in 2011.
