State Police: Baltimore Police Officer Arrested After High-Speed Chase

WBAL-TV reports that a Baltimore City police sergeant who was arrested on New Year's morning after what a police report describes as a high-speed chase has been released on bond.

I wonder if he will be dealt with or if he will still have a job.

Pointy headed cop is going to squall "racism", no matter what. I guess he thought he was above the law.

Your both disgusting. Rat cops? You mean good cops who don't allow crooked cops? You two show the true colors of law enforcement here on the shore!

I don't believe this officer should have a job any longer with the police force. Officers should be setting examples, not acting like a jerk. If your head is so big that you believe you are above the law, you are the right person for the job.

Again, MD Troopers setting the bar and not letting this guy slide because he pulled the "I'm a cop" card! Laws are laws, way to go state police!

"Hopkins was released on bond. He's suspended with pay."

This is definitely wrong! Sounds like the Wicomico County Board of Education.
