Black Guerrilla Family Member Pleads Guilty

Black Guerrilla Family Lieutenant Cops to Plea on Drug Smuggling Charge

jail_cell
Based on evidence obtained from a female corrections officer with whom he was involved, a man authorities say was the second in command in the Black Guerrilla Family gang has pleaded guilty to a drug smuggling charge, reported The Baltimore Sun. The man, who joined the gang in 2011, was apparently the cellmate of the BGF’s jail leader. The drug smuggling ring was apparently run from within the state’s correctional system, with the assistance of a number of corrections officers. In April 2013, it was announced that 25 people, including 13 corrections officers, had been charged with racketeering as well as drug and money laundering.

In the case involving the BGF’s number-two man, authorities intercepted a call between the suspect and the corrections officer with whom he was involved on which the suspect discussed using a debit card to obtain money to purchase drugs. When police brought the corrections officer in for questioning, they found that she had kept a ledger for her lover, listing all of his illegal transactions. The corrections officer also pleaded guilty to smuggling controlled substances.

January 14, 2014 by

Suspect Detained for Spate of “Smash and Grab” Burglaries

After a September 20 robbery at Parks Liquors in Deale, police used surveillance video evidence to identify the motor vehicle used in the crime. When they stopped a vehicle matching that description, they located tools in the car that they believe were used in the liquor store robbery as well as a number of similar “smash and grab” burglaries of small businesses throughout Anne Arundel County, reported The Baltimore Sun.

According to authorities, the suspect had a tire iron and used it to break the front-door glass at nine businesses across the county. The first known robbery, at a Starbucks in Severna Park, occurred on July 28. Though the first three break-ins all took place in Severna Park, police believe the suspect then moved to other locations in the county, from Gambrills to Glen Burnie to Edgewater. The suspect, a 54-year-old male, apparently lives in Glen Burnie. Police say that their investigation is not closed and that there may be other unsolved robberies tied to the suspect.

A former public defender and private defense attorney with offices in Towson faces drug-related charges, along with 12 others, after a Baltimore County grand jury returned an indictment in early October, reported The Baltimore Sun. After what authorities termed a “lengthy investigation,” police executed 10 search warrants, seizing a wide range of controlled substances, including heroin, cocaine, marijuana and prescription drugs, such as Hydrocodone, Alprazolam (Xanax), Oxycodone and Suboxone. Officers also seized a number of weapons.

Though police did not provide additional details, sources say that the attorney’s son was also charged. The charges include conspiracy with intent to distribute, as well as possession. The attorney has been a member of the state bar for more than 20 years. The indictment was based on evidence gathered between May and September.
