Police know which officer failed to respond to report

Baltimore police have determined the identity of the officer who declined to respond to a firefighter’s report of a man with a gun earlier this month, police said Tuesday. On Monday, police disclosed that they were looking for an officer who had been flagged down by an off-duty firefighter and two passengers in a van who reported seeing a man carrying and ditching a gun about 2:30 a.m. on July 6 at Lexington and St. Paul streets. The officer, recorded on the van’s dashboard camera, responded to the request by telling the firefighter, “This isn’t my district.” Baltimore’s interim police commissioner, Gary Tuggle, said he was embarassed by the response and called it unacceptable. “At the end of the day, when we receive information like that, we have an obligation — a duty, a duty — to respond to it,” he said. The officer, whom police did not name, has not been suspended and remains under “active investigation,” police spokesman T.J. Smith said. without bond pending a bail review hearing today. He is also charged with being a member of MS-13, a transnational gang law enforcement officials say is terrorizing Hispanic immigrant communities in the D.C. metropolitan area and elsewhere. Police found the Annapolis teenager buried in a wooded area near Open View Lane in the city in October. Police claim to have “electronic and communication records” that confirm Recinos-Guardado is a member of the gang. No attorney was listed as representing him in online court records.
