Baltimore repaying police agencies $1.8M for riot control
The city of Baltimore expects to reimburse other local police and fire agencies from across Maryland a total of $1.8 million for responding to the civil unrest that followed the death of Freddie Gray last spring, a city spokesman said Thursday.
The tally includes both requests that have been paid and those still under review, Howard Libit said in an email. He said he expects all the requests to be paid.
The requests are for overtime, equipment costs and other expenses claimed by about 30 public agencies and volunteer fire companies in 16 of Maryland’s 23 counties.
The Anne Arundel County Police Department submitted the biggest request, about $426,000. Department spokesman Lt. Ryan Frashure told The Capital newspaper the request hasn’t been paid yet.
If they can pay out $6.4 million to Saint Freddie's relatives, when there was no proof of legal culpability, they need to pay up for the services rendered in good faith by emergency services, to keep the place from being burned to the ground.
