Man Who Rammed Truck Into WMAR IDed, Charged With Attempted 2nd Degree Murder

A man claiming to be God slammed a stolen landscaping truck into a Baltimore-area television station Tuesday morning, then spent hours watching live TV news footage of the scene before local authorities arrested him.

He has been identified as 28-year-old Vladimir Mehul Baptist, of Parkville. Among the slew of charges he faces include three counts of attempted second-degree murder. Baptiste is being held at the Baltimore County Detention Center on $750,000 bail.

Derek Valcourt has more on the story.

Baltimore County law enforcement officials said the 28-year-old man was taken into custody at about 4 p.m. after spending nearly five hours barricaded inside the WMAR-TV station in Towson, watching journalists deliver live reports from just outside the building.

Another criminal in Baltimore, was easy to figure out his race.

Wonderful. Guess the meds made him feel sedated and dull. Now they'll be looking under his tongue twice a day at Clifton T. Perkins.

Unless an Asian, an Hispanic and two Caucasians are arrested for the same thing as this man, it is not fair to him. Schools call this disproportionate contact of minorities with administrators.

if he was God, why did he need the truck to get inside?
