When the Inner Harbor fireworks display was cancelled on New Years' Eve, Baltimore City police commissioner Frederick H. Bealefeld III admirably decided to join officers patrolling the Bridgeview-Greenlawn neighborhood. He and an aide saw people firing sawed-off shotguns into the air and chased them into a house where the Commish held a suspect at gunpoint and called for backup, safely apprehending two suspects and seizing a small arsenal of weapons.
The story has been reported by the Sun and the Associated Press, and was even picked up by the New York Times! Just one more reason to admire Bealefield, who has presided over the police department as the city sees its lowest homicide rate in two decades.
