| Ex-Baltimore Police Chief To Plead Guilty To Tax Charges |
| 2018-12-02 |
| [BALTIMORE.CBSLOCAL] A former Baltimore police commissioner is scheduled to plead guilty to federal tax charges that made his time atop the city’s troubled department short-lived. Darryl De Sousa’s attorney, Gerard Martin, confirmed the planned plea to news outlets Thursday. De Sousa’s re-arraignment hearing is scheduled for Dec. 18. The 30-year veteran of Baltimore’s police department took over after Kevin Davis was fired in January. He stepped down in May when charged with three misdemeanor counts of failing to file a federal tax return. He faces up to one year in prison and a $25,000 fine for each of the three counts. Baltimore police have been roiled by scandal, a high crime rate and leadership turnover. Mayor Catherine Pugh’s pick to lead the department is awaiting confirmation by the city council. |
