Baltimore police officer indicted following alleged assault over mask refusal Print this article
A grand jury indicted a Baltimore police officer who allegedly assaulted a man on crutches after he refused to put on a face mask while inside a grocery store.
Officer Andre Maurice Pringle threw Brandon Walker to the ground outside a Shoppers grocery store in Baltimore in April, according to prosecutors. He was charged with one count of second-degree assault and one count of misconduct in office. Officer Pringle, who was in full BPD uniform at the time, approached Walker and advised him that he had to leave the store, prosecutors said, according to NBC News. The two began walking towards the exit. Walker was yelling and cursing at Officer Pringle as they continued towards the automated entry/exit doors.

After serving 42-years of a 60-year sentence, Maryland s longest-incarcerated woman prisoner, Eraina Pretty, is to be released from the Maryland Correctional Institution for Women.
The decision to free her came following a joint motion filed by University of Maryland attorneys Lila Meadows and Leigh Goodmark and the Baltimore City State s Attorney s Sentencing Review Unit, represented by Deputy State s Attorney Jan Bledsoe.
Subscribe We are grateful to [Baltimore City State s Attorney] Marilyn Mosby (D) and the Baltimore City State s Attorney s Office, who ultimately agreed that Ms. Pretty was worthy of the mercy the court exercised in her resentencing, Meadows and Goldmark said in a statement.
