Springfield man indicted on attempted murder following last month's shooting near Wittenberg
Jul. 1—A Springfield man was indicted this week for shooting two people near Wittenberg University late last month. Michael Bailey, 53, faces two counts of first-degree felony attempted murder, three counts of second-degree felonious assault, as well as one count each of first-degree felony aggravated robbery, third-degree felony theft of a firearm, third-degree felony having weapons while under disability, first-degree felony aggravated burglary and third-degree felony abduction. The indictment stems from the June 20 shooting of a man and woman at a home on the 500 block of Park Place, a one-block side street off of West College and North Wittenberg avenues. Police were dispatched to the house around 12:42 p.m. that day and found two people suffering gunshot wounds on the back patio. They were transported to the hospital, according to a probable cause affidavit. No firearms were found at the scene, but there was evidence of guns being fired. Witnesses and information led to Bailey, according to court records, and surveillance video corroborated this. The video reportedly shows Bailey shoot at the man through the backyard before going outside and shooting the woman from about five to eight feet away. He was then seen kicking and "pistol whipping" the man while he was on the ground, according to court records. Bailey then allegedly took one of the victim's gun from the ground and fled the scene. Police found Bailey in the 100 block of Seever Street and arrested him for the shooting.

Baltimore Police officer faces charges in assault, rape of 16-year-old girl
A Baltimore Police officer was suspended and criminally charged after a 16-year-old girl he said he was 'dating' reported that he choked and raped her Monday. Curlon Edwards, 34, faces rape and assault charges and is being held without bond. His bail review is scheduled for Wednesday morning. Edwards faces six charges in all, with false imprisonment and reckless endangerment in addition to the two assault and two rape charges. Edwards was hired in 2023 and has since been suspended without pay, according to Baltimore Police Department spokesperson Vernon Davis. Police interviewed the victim while she was at Greater Baltimore Medical Center for evaluation. She reported that Edwards, whom she identified as her boyfriend, took her to his house on the 100 block of North Howard Street on Monday afternoon to hang out, according to charging documents. They had sex, and Edwards asked her if she had been sleeping with anyone else. When she said no, Edwards accessed her phone using her face to unlock it via Face ID and went through it to find any 'evidence of infidelity,' charging documents state. She slapped him when he didn't return her phone after multiple requests. He then put her in a chokehold. She bit his arm. He strangled her until she briefly lost consciousness. He then turned the television's volume up to drown out the sound of her screams and locked the doors, chasing her around the house when she attempted to leave, according to the documents. Edwards then handed her his handgun and told her to shoot him because he was afraid of what would happen if she reported the incident. 'She then took the gun with her hands shaking but she didn't point the gun at him. He told her if she didn't calm him down, he would kill her. So she attempted to console him,' the charging documents state. Edwards took the gun back and told the victim he wanted to have sex. She feared for her life, 'but she wanted to do anything to make it home,' the documents state. She told police they had sex again, but this time was not consensual. After, Edwards drove them to Panda Express and Walmart in Rosedale. At the Walmart, he got concealer to cover up the marks left on her. The detective wrote in the charging documents he saw red bruises across the front of her neck. The victim told her mother when she got home and they called the police. The victim told police Edwards definitely knew she was 16. The victim's name was redacted from the charging documents, though The Baltimore Sun generally does not name sexual assault accusers. During an interview with Edwards described in the charging documents, he admitted to dating the victim, choking her with his forearm and giving her his gun. He said the marks on the victim's neck were from him choking her. The victim underwent a sexual assault forensic exam at the hospital. Edwards did not have an attorney listed on the Maryland Judiciary's website as of late Tuesday afternoon. 'The Baltimore Police Department is currently investigating a BPD's Officer's involvement in alleged criminal misconduct. Due to the nature of the criminal charges, which include felonies, Officer Curlon Edwards was immediately suspended without pay. The Department's Public Integrity Division will be working alongside the State's Attorney's Office on this ongoing investigation,' the police department said in a statement Tuesday. Have a news tip?

Brooklyn MTA station agent says 2 female fare evaders beat her up
A Metropolitan Transportation Authority worker says she was assaulted on the job in Brooklyn over the weekend while trying to help an elderly man who was having trouble in transit. The woman said she fears for her health and safety, especially with the suspects still on the run. "They're fare beaters. They wanted a ride" Marshalee Reid said the attack left her badly bruised and bleeding, "I was attacked by two girls while I was on the job. They jumped me. They assaulted me," Reid said. "They're fare beaters. They wanted a ride." Reid, a 51-year-old station agent, was working at the New Lots Avenue station in East New York on Saturday afternoon, when she says she was assisting an elderly man with an oxygen tank through a door. She says as she was helping him, a woman jumped the turnstile, and then another woman asked to go through the door, to which Reid responded that she had to pay the fare. "Just because I said that, that's all, they started to fight me," Reid said. "The girl was punching me in the face with keys that she had. She also had a pocket knife." NYC Transit boss calls attack "outrageous" Police are looking for two suspects. Union leaders say the two had a child with them at the time of the assault. In a statement, NYC Transit President Crichlow called the attack "outrageous." "[It's] another example of how fare evaders are often the perpetrators of assaults," Crichlow said, adding, "When the NYPD catches the suspects, which they will, we will be at the courthouse to insist that maximum justice is delivered for our colleague." "I want you to catch these girls," Reid said. "There's consequences for their crimes." Until then, Reid says she fears taking the train, or returning to work. And after just having brain surgery last year, she's focusing on her recovery, both physically and emotionally. TWU implores NYC to put more police underground The Transport Workers Union sounded off about safety in the subway system. "At the time of this assault, there was no police anywhere to be found -- mezzanine, platform, nowhere in sight," TWU Local 100 Vice President of Stations Robert Kelley said. "We have station agents, train operators, conductors, cleaners, every day getting assaulted either verbally or physically. I call on the mayor again to surge the police into these areas," TWU Local 100 President John Chiarello said. "We feel as many police officers as possible, we want in the system. That's why were bringing on 4,000 new officers, increasing the numbers," Mayor Eric Adams said. Anyone with any information is asked to call the NYPD's Crime Stoppers hotline at 1-800-577-TIPS (8477), or for Spanish, 1-888-57-PISTA (74782). You can also submit a tip via their website or via DM on X, @NYPDTips. All calls are kept confidential.
