A Baltimore grandmother delivering a doorknob claims that a customer exposed himself after opening the door, but police arrest her for assault. Now he plans to file a lawsuit
Jackie Conway, 60, who had retired from law enforcement but wasn’t ready to retire yet, began delivering groceries for Door Dash. It was a decent side job and she or he happily accepted the extra cash.
The retired captain – the first Black woman to achieve that rank in the Baltimore City Sheriff’s Office – couldn’t have predicted how her life would change after giving birth on Oct. 29.
Conway, a grandmother of 5, said she was greeted at the door by a customer who immediately revealed himself.
She backed out and called 911. Incredibly, despite 20 years with the Baltimore City Sheriff’s Office, Baltimore County Police arrested her on first- and second-degree assault charges.
“At that point, all the work I had done in public service just disappeared,” Conway told The Baltimore Banner reported only history. “It just disappeared.”
The charges were dropped last Friday, but Conway is not going to just walk away. Her attorneys, J. Wyndal Gordon and Raouf Abdullah, say they imagine that is a case of race or gender discrimination and have notified the city that they plan to sue it.
The customer Conway encountered told officers he was wearing an oversized T-shirt and boxer shorts when he answered the door. He said she was sitting in her vehicle across the street and when she didn’t respond to text messages, he approached her, shouting and asking why she was still there.
A police report says a 21-year-old man, whose name has not been released, said Conway told him to “get away from my car before I put a bullet in you.”
The man said he put his hands up, turned around and walked back to his house.
Conway said the man was not wearing pants or underwear when he answered the door. She said he aggressively approached her vehicle, where she was waiting with her Glock 27, which she pointed down in a “low-ready” position.
The retired captain has a walk and carry permit, which she showed to police. Conway said she told them she was a police officer.
Officers sided with the client, arresting Conway and taking her to the Towson police station, where she was held for several hours.
“I was providing a service to someone,” Conway said. “And they will come and lock me up.”
The morning after the arrest, one among the officers, Jasmine Jeffry, texted Conway.
“I was the lead officer during yesterday’s incident,” Jeffry said. “I want you to know that I expressed my concerns to my immediate superiors this morning.”
Jeffy said she has asked Baltimore County Assistant State’s Attorney Samuel Dominick III to retry the case, saying the evidence “highly suggests” the arrest was made “prematurely” without a accomplished and thorough investigation.
Dominick confirmed that prosecutors were dropping charges against Conway, saying she had no intent to engage in malicious or criminal actions.
Jeffry said police would file charges against the 21-year-old client for indecent exposure.
It is unclear why Conway was arrested.
“She has a history of arrests, which is extremely disturbing for a law enforcement officer,” said Abdullah, one among her lawyers. “Even if it is rejected, this stain will remain forever.”
Gordon, Conway’s other lawyer, said the case had devastated her emotionally.
“She is embarrassed, humiliated and offended,” Gordon said. “This is a very disturbing situation that should absolutely never have happened.”
The unveiling of President Trump’s latest business policy, marked by a show of recent “mutual tariffs”, caused widespread confusion.
Administration proposal regarding the use of 10% of the fundamental tariff in all Import-non-statement from the origin, even from probably the most distant territories-he was inacculed with specific rates for the country, which gave the impression to be contrary to established economic data immediately raised eyebrows.
The market reacted quickly, and the symptoms of the campaign are falling, and economists warn of the likely rapid increase in consumer prices.
The central investigation concerns the origin of this data. Evidence suggests correlation Thanks to the calculations generated by AI Chatbots, a very simplified formula that divides the nation’s business deficit from the USA through its complete export to American economist James Surowiklecki, who reversed the methodology of the White House, said: “The approach is an extraordinary nonsense.”
The evaluation of the economist adapted to the outcomes generated by AI, despite the incontrovertible fact that officials denied artificial intelligence. However, the assessment revealed the striking similarity between the White House scenario and the findings of Surowicki.
Surowicki’s assessment is strengthened by warning statements issued by the AI platforms themselves. For example, Gemini Google expressed the potential of “significant negative consequences” and emphasized the prevailing economic consensus that “tariffs are not an effective tool for balancing trade deficits.”
Although the direct causal relationship between the info generated by AI and administration policy stays unconfirmed, similarities justify control.
This incident is a symptomatic broader trend: the formulation of a policy that priority priority over strict evaluation. This approach isn’t unique in business policy. Consider the next examples:
- Establishing space force: Considering the speculative nature of such scenarios, the justification of a dedicated military ward to unravel extraterrestrial threats He was questioned.
- Border wall construction: Despite the numerous Financial investments, the effectiveness of the project in limiting illegal immigration has been questioned.
- Implementation of travel ban: The justification of the policy, allegedly based on the fears of national security, was questioned in court proceedings and by international observers.
Legal expert It was found“It was a policy built on fear, not facts.”
- Withdrawal from the Paris Agreement: Scientific and diplomatic communities criticized Decision to withdraw from the International Climate Agreement.
These rules, just like AI tariffs, show the priority of ideological goals before empirical evidence.
When the international community observes and is waiting for the implementation of these tariffs on April 5, the air is dense with uncertainty. The query isn’t just in regards to the numbers and the method that he created them. Relying on data sources, which even AI systems warn against serious fears in regards to the administration approach to developing economic policy.
It isn’t simply a matter of different opinions; Whether the foundations shaping our economy are based on sound evaluation or something just like a digital touching shoulders.
The world intends to see what is going to occur when Kaprys Chatbota potentially makes economic decisions; To be honest, this angle should stop.

According to the Associated Press, brain cancer was diagnosed and immunotherapy was subjected to a clinical examination at the Center of Mening Cancer of the University of Duke University.
In an open letter published by Desepert News On March 11, Love said that she now not reacted to treatment and spent the last days surrounded by family members. “I take a pen, not to say goodbye, but to thank and express my vivid wish for you and America, which I know,” Love wrote.
She used a letter not only to share her health update, but to reflect on the country she loved, drawing on her upbringing as a daughter of haitan immigrants.
“America I know is based on the rough determination found in patriots, pioneers and fighting parents, with owners of small companies with great ideas, in farmers who work in the beauty of our landscapes, and the artists who paint them, in our Heroic Army and our inspiring Olympic athletes and in every child who looks at the seemingly impossible and speak, who looks at that I can do it, “.
“America I know is great – not because the government has made him great, but because ordinary citizens like me, like my parents and if you had the opportunity to do unusual things every day. This is America I know,” she continued.
“Finally, I hope that my life will matter and change the nation that I love, and my family and friends I love. I hope you will see America, which I know in the coming years, that you will hear my words in the whisper of the wind of freedom and feel my presence in the flame of permanent freedom,” added Love.
The mother of three children underwent history in 2014, when she became the first black Republican woman chosen for Congress. But her political journey began a few years earlier, when she won the place in the Saratoga Springs City Council in 2003. Later, she became the mayor of the city before she perceived Congress.
Her first Congress Run in 2012 ended with a narrow loss with the democratic present Jim Matheson, but she didn’t surrender. Two years later she ran again and won, defeating Doug Owens about 7,500 votes.

Love was perceived as a rising star in the Republican Party, but often kept a distance from Donald Trump. During the presidential race in 2016, she explained that she wouldn’t vote for Trump, especially after the release of the infamous recording of 2005, in which he commented on washing women. Instead, she supported Senator Texas Ted Cruz, although he eventually gave up.
Two years later, when she was searching for the third term in Congress, Love tried to balance her party’s position on tax reductions with a more independent approach to trade and immigration. However, despite the undeniable fact that the Republicans outweigh Democrats almost three to 1 in its district, she lost to the former mayor of Salt Lake City Ben McAdams lower than 700 votes.
After leaving the Congress, love went to the media, acting as a political commentator of CNN.
“During the celebration of her life and avalanche of lucky memories, Mia had a quiet temporal team and, as always, her words and vision, the sky increased,” her family told her Sunday statement. “We are grateful for many good wishes, prayers and condolences.”
According to the Love family, the funeral arrangements and the plans of “public celebration of her life” shall be announced in the coming days.

Donald Trump, to face Letitia James again – after crushing him in court – because New York AG is directed
Democratic leaders in several states are preparing to fight with the order of President Donald Trump to freeze federal funds and dollars oriented to billions, which directly finance federal assistance programs.
On Monday, the Trump administration issued a note ordering federal agencies “All activities related to the obligation or payment of all federal financial assistance”.
The Management and Budget Office (OMB) later explained that the freezing is “clearly limited to programs, projects and activities related to the president’s executive orders, such as Ending Dei, Green New Deal and financing of non -governmental organizations that undermine the national interest.”
The directive was alarms for a lot of Americans, including federal employees, from the administration crusade to the withdrawal of all programs, offices and jobs in the federal government.
Now several general prosecutors, led by the Prosecutor General New York Letitia James, who called the order “reckless and dangerous”, is preparing to sue administration to query the constitutionality of order.
“My office will take the next legal action against the unconstitutional break of this administration on federal financing,” James wrote On X. “We will not sit idly when this administration harms our families.”
James has already taken Trump to court for civil fraud, which caused a judgment of many thousands and thousands of dollars against the president. She was appointed political opponent for bringing a case against him, and after winning in the election in 2024, she undertook to challenge all attempts at revenge that his recent administration could make against her office or is New York, including the withdrawal of federal funds.
“The president does not decide which provisions of the enforcement and for whom. When the Congress devotes the financing of the program, the president cannot get this financing from the whim”, James he said At a press conference on Tuesday, calling federal funds, he’ll freeze “illegal order”.
She added that the upcoming lawsuit “would search for a court order to immediately stop Trump’s enforcement in order to preserve the vital funds for Americans.
“This decision is unlawful, dangerous, destructive, cruel. It is illegal, is unconstitutional”, the leader of the Senate minorities Chuck Schumer (Dn.y.) he said. “Simple and simple, this is the 2025 project. Project 2025 with another name.”
Trump’s Order – whose US District Judge Loren L. Alikhan Temporarily blocked just a few minutes before getting into force on Tuesday afternoon – he said that programs akin to Medicaid and Snap can be excluded, in addition to funds for small corporations, farmers, Pell grants, head start and assistance.
“The guidelines establish a process for agencies to cooperate with OMB in order to quickly determine whether any program is not in accordance with the president’s executive orders. The detention may be as short as one day,” we read in the order.
Politicians from everywhere in the country also query order, noting that repercussions can be very respected for thousands and thousands of Americans, despite the indisputable fact that the White House doesn’t understand its scale.
Dollars trillions are pouring into healthcare and stopping poverty, education, help in the case of disasters, housing, infrastructure and other initiatives that affect every corner of virtually every lifetime of America.
The National Council Non -Profit, American Public Health Association, Main Street Alliance for Small Business and LGBTQ Advocacy Sage have also filed a lawsuit against OMB and asked the Federal Court in DC to issue a brief order to stop and preliminary order to ban agencies.
“From stopping research on medicine for childhood cancer to stopping food, safety from home violence and closing suicides, the impact of even a short break on financing may be destructive he said in a statement. “An order may be over 1000’s of organizations and leave their neighbors without vital services.”
