“Why would Freddie run for no reason?”
He had a long rap sheet & was known to police. People with criminal pasts are wary of the police
RE: He had a long rap sheet & was known to police. People with criminal pasts are wary of the police
Some street wise person that I spoke to just after I typed that question told me that he was certain Freddie Gray had drugs on him to sell. He ran so that he would have time to dispose it before the cops catch him.
Especially if they are still into criminal activities.
““Why would Freddie run for no reason?”
He had a long rap sheet & was known to police.”
Most of his 18 priors were for drug possession and dealing (some assault, some destruction, etc.).
It appears that he was in the street retailing drugs in a place where it is regularly done, and someone called out a warning to him that the police were coming. He apparently ran to ditch his drugs, before getting caught possessing them and facing more serious charges. It is common practice.
