Alleged police impersonator sought in sexual assault
City police say a man who is charged with sexually assaulting a woman in East Baltimore had flashed a police badge and claimed to be an officer.
Antoine Jones, 33, is being sought on charges of fourth-degree sex offense after police say the victim picked him out of a lineup. She told officers that on Aug. 11, Jones gave her a ride from the area of Harford Ave. and Bonaparte St. to her East Baltimore home, and made several sexual advances toward her.
She said that she told him to stop touching her, and he pulled over the vehicle at the intersection of North Avenue and Rutland Avenue and locked the doors, forcibly touching her. He told her he was a police officer and that she could trust him, records show. He made subsequent attempts until she escaped from the vehicle when he stopped at an intersection.
According to police, the victim told detectives that her attacker had told her his name and given a day of birth, which they used to identify Jones and include his picture in a photo lineup. The woman picked Jones out from that lineup.
Police say Jones is not a former or current officer.
The crime is the latest to involve people claiming to be police officers, including a series of home invasions in which residents were bound and robbed.
Police publicized this incident after receiving an inquiry from The Sun on Wednesday.

It's amazing that this blog you read for free doesn't have the cash to hire a proof reader, ain't it? -JF

Little touchy, are we? I guess it's too much to ask to have the blogger read what he just wrote to check for tense, spelling, etc.
before allowing his prose to be consumed by the masses.

All in good fun, BigAl.

Ok, I am so tired of seeing a post where someone is hurt, murdered, robbed, or many other terrible things in this city and instead of posting in response to the crime or the relativeness of the article, people have to post on the spelling or puncuation, or something, GET A LIFE! seriously, if the worse is that a word is misspelled or that they forgot a comma, then we are doing good in the city.... stop trying to shoot everyone down there are bigger problems out there...

As crazy as this is I really dont want to believe it. I see this all the time where guys think its ok to be a little aggressive. He was aggressive with me and I knew to remove myself from the situation which is why I didnt pay it much attention. I pray that whatever happens he does get help and really work on whatever it is he has going on inside. Its a crazy world out here and you cant escape them all but can we at least try and help them.
