Baltimore Officer Honored After Chasing Down Suspect

An officer who is an avid runner found that his speed paid off during a police chase on foot this week.

BALTIMORE, MD — Crime doesn’t pay, especially if the officer chasing you is an avid runner. A suspected car thief found that out the hard way this past Wednesday, when he was chased down by Baltimore PD Officer Gregory Parker.

Parker first spotted the suspect “as a guy selling stuff out of the trunk of his car.” He added, “We thought it was a little suspicious.”
