BALTIMORE -- Baltimore City police arrested a Virginia couple over the weekend after they asked an officer for directions.
WBAL-TV 11 News I-Team reporter David Collins said Joshua Kelly and Llara Brook, of Chantilly, Va., got lost leaving an Orioles game on Saturday. Collins reported a city officer arrested them for trespassing on a public street while they were asking for directions .
"In jail for eight hours -- sleeping on a concrete floor next to a toilet," Kelly said.
"It was a nightmare," Brook said. "I was in there thinking I was just dreaming and waiting to wake up."
Collins reported it was a nightmare ending to a nearly perfect day. He said the couple went to a company picnic and watched the Orioles beat Kansas City. It was their first trip to Camden Yards and asked two people for directions to Interstate 95 South when they left.
Collins said somehow they ended up in the Cherry Hill section of south Baltimore. Hopelessly lost, relief melted away concerns after they spotted a police vehicle.
"I said, 'Thank goodness, could you please get us to 95?" Kelly said.
"The first thing that she said to us was no -- you just ran that stop sign, pull over," Brook said. "It wasn't a big deal. We'll pay the stop sign violation, but can we have directions?"
"What she said was 'You found your own way in here, you can find your own way out.'" Kelly said.
Collins said the couple spotted another police vehicle and flagged that officer down for directions. But Officer Natalie Preston, a six-year veteran of the force, intervened.
"That really threw us for a loop when she stepped in between our cars," Kelly said. "(She) said my partner is not going to step in front of me and tell you directions if I'm not."
Collins reported the circumstances got worse. Kelly pulled 40 feet forward parking next to a curb and put his flashers on while Brook was on the phone to her father hoping he could help her with directions. Both her parents are police officers in the Harrisburg, Pa., area.
"(Brook's father) was in the middle of giving us directions when the officer screeched up behind us and got out of the car and asked me to step out. I obeyed," Kelly said. "I obeyed everything -- stepped out of the car, put my hands behind my back, and the next thing I know, I was getting arrested for trespassing."
"By this time, I was completely in tears," Brook said. "I said, 'Ma'am, you know, we just need your help. We are not trying to cause you any trouble. I'm not leaving him here.' What she did was walk over to my side of the car and said, 'Ok, we are taking you downtown, too.'"
Collins said the couple was released from jail without being charged with anything. Brook is now concerned the arrest may complicate a criminal background check she's going through in her job as a child care worker.
Collins said police left Kelly's car unlocked and the windows down at the impound lot. He reported a cell phone charger, pair of sunglasses and 20 CDs were stolen.
Baltimore City police said they are looking into the incident.

Wow man....that is just fucked up, but shit like that happens everyday!! Its sick. Cops have wayyyy too much authority these days. Cops are trained to intimidate and to be badasses.

I would never in my right mind treat a person like that. This video makes me sick!! Cops are to serve and protect. If they wanted directions, the cops should have given them directions. I don't understand what the problem was.

[pisshead]

protect and serve, right?

[Euphoric]

i have a deep distrust and hate for pigs, but 2 sides 2 sides

good point

Cops thrive in Police States. It's their buisness to arrest people, its a prison industry. They enjoy their job, dominating and intimidating makes them feel secure. (i think thats the motivation for the police arresting these people) Since it was their choice to sign up to be cops and supress freedoms i have little sympathy for them really..just think of all the bad karma your typical cop will rack up in a week

A caring cop doing his job was her own faceless hero

Ashley walked into the room wearing a pink sweater and jeans. She looked like most teenage girls, except for the mix of joy and nervousness on her face.

Her mother Tammy gestured toward the man in the black double-breasted suit and said, "This is the officer we've always told you about. This is Scott Guffey."

Ashley, with brown hair framing her blue eyes, gave Guffey a gentle hug. Finally, she had a face to match the name of her hero.

This wasn't the first meeting between Ashley and Guffey, just the first Ashley remembered.

Guffey, a Tampa Police Department veteran, intervened in a complicated domestic situation 15 years ago when Ashley was an infant. His efforts dramatically altered the course of Ashley's life, and for that, Tammy has remained grateful.

So has Ashley.

Tammy Cage met Guffey in November 1989. He was a young cop working street patrol. She was a panic-stricken mother, worried that her estranged husband was going to disappear with her 11-month-old daughter. (Tammy asked that her surname not be used in the paper because she still worries about him.)

The man, who was married to Tammy when Ashley was born but is not her father, had asked to spend some time with Ashley. Even though he and Tammy were separated, she agreed. When he didn't return in a few hours, Tammy feared she would never see Ashley again.

Frantic, Tammy went to the Tampa Heights home where she believed her husband and his new girlfriend were hiding Ashley. Guffey and his partner, Jimmy Myer, were patrolling the area, and Tammy flagged them down.

Guffey found a packed station wagon and U-Haul trailer outside the Tampa Heights house, but the woman who came to the door refused to let him search the house. So Guffey told her they would wait outside. They asked a captain for permission to search the home and waited while their superiors processed the request. Nearly three hours passed.

Finally, the girlfriend emerged with Ashley. Tammy says Ashley was wearing overalls, and her hair had been cut to make her look like a boy. She's certain her husband was planning to leave town.

Guffey took the infant and returned her to Tammy. The drama made Guffey's name indelible.

Unfortunately, there was more drama ahead for Tammy and Ashley. Tammy remarried, but when that relationship turned abusive, she sent Ashley to live with her natural father. That turned into an abusive situation for Ashley, and she returned to live with Tammy at age 10.

The young girl found herself unable to trust men.

"Most people say go to someone you trust for help," Ashley said. "But when you're in that situation, there's no one you trust."

Tammy needed a way to renew Ashley's faith, so she told the story of Scott Guffey, the honest officer who had helped them stay together.

It wasn't long before Ashley started asking every cop she saw if they knew Scott Guffey. She stopped officers at the Gasparilla parade. She asked her school resource officer, who said he knew Guffey and would bring the two together.

The reunion happened last week. The cop and the teen talked about music - both like alternative-rock group Hoobastank - and school. Ashley is making good grades. Tammy gave Guffey 15 yellow roses, one for each year she and Ashley have shared together since that unforgettable night. Guffey said he was humbled they were so appreciative after all these years.

Ashley's gratitude is just beginning to show. She wants to become a social worker and help children.

And today she celebrates her 16th birthday, thanks in part to a caring cop just doing his job.

Officers have the potential to alter lives in ways they may never realize. They need to remember that, and we need to appreciate every positive outcome.

That's all I'm saying.


2 sides kids 2 sides..........

anyone else find it funny..the Police Officer was Female and Black..and the people she arrested was White..

Altho the cop did say they ran a Stopsign...but that is typical cop BS

[Great Spirit]

Most, but not all people become cops because they like to harass people and are assholes to begin with. They think they are the shit with the power they are entrusted with.

Cops make me plain sick sometimes. Fucken pigs with their little crew cuts. If you look at them while driving they'll probably pull you over.

Sorry, thats just too much work for me if I was a cop. I at least have respect for people.

Don't be intimidated by a cop. They are just normal people too.

For example, if you're driving too and a cop pulls you over and asks to search your car, all you have to say is I do not consent to a search...period! He'll probably say "why do you have something to hide" and they will threaten you with dogs and shit probably, but since he does not have enough evidence to arrest you, thats why he asked to search your car to begin with. Politely tell the cop that you do not consent to any searches and that he must have a warrant and you will not answer any questions without the presence of a lawyer. The cop will get scared at this point because he now knows you know your rights. Even if they do search and find anything, they will likely throw it out of court anyway because it was an illegal search and the cop will get in trouble probably.

As long as you know your rights, you will be fine. Too many people get put in jail when in reality, they could have avoided it if they had known their rights. Thats why Amerika has 2 million people in prison!

Lol its so fun when you can slap a cop in the face! Especially an asshole cop!!
