Police Officer Allegedly Threatens Neighbor With Gun In Maryland

BROOKYLN, Md. (WJZ)—A Police Sergeant with the State of Maryland Department of Labor Licensing and Regulations is facing multiple assault charges after he allegedly pulled a gun on a family, including two children under 2, last weekend in Brooklyn, Maryland.

Police say they responded to the 100 block of Camrose Ave. after they received reports of a man assaulting a boy on his bicycle. At that address, police located 44-year-old Freddie Puryear, an officer with the State of Maryland Department of Labor Licensing and Regulations.

According to charging documents, Puryear allegedly assaulted a boy on his bike because he believed the boy was taking pictures of his property. The victim reported he was riding on his bike while speaking on his cell phone when Puryear came out of his home on Camrose. The victim says Puryear yelled at him and accusing him of taking pictures of his property and vehicles.

Somebody needed some counseling and didn't get it, or got it and it didn't take.

9:50 awful isn't it. A lot of state's and the federal government departments have a law enforcement arm including the US dept of education!
A bit of info not many know-the Baltimore city school system has it's very own police force. This happened because the city police were getting so many calls to the schools that it was eating up resources so the Baltimore City School Police force was created. They have detectives and everything. A regular department.

Cops for the elevators? Labor board? And we don't live in a police state? It's time all Maryland cops go under a psych exam. They're in the news every week now!

Why does this agency have weapons anyway? Too many government weapons.

So the city creates a new police department instead of adding resources. Boy that is just as dumb as you bragging about it.

If they are police I don't have a problem with them having weapons. The problem I have is there are to many branches with to many bosses. The state of Maryland should only have one police agency, the Maryland State Police. Enough said!

They weren't bragging. You are the dumb (and extremely paranoid) for reading into something that wasn't there at all. Get yourself some mental help. Paranoia isn't normal.
