Former television news personality Dennis Edwards is being held in the Baltimore city jail after police arrested him a second time in four days in connection with a domestic violence case involving his wife, according to court documents. A District Court judge on Monday set bail at $500,000 and scheduled a hearing for Feb. 2. The 54-year-old is charged with violating a protective order, telephone misuse, harassment and malicious destruction of property.
Police first arrested Edwards on Wednesday, Dec. 29, and charged him with assaulting his wife in their home on South Road. The woman told police that Edwards shoved her down and banged her head on the floor. He posted $20,000 bail and was released pending trial.
In an interview after his first arrest, Edwards called the incident an "unfortunate situation" and called the police account inaccurate. "It's not what it appears," he said then. "It's not accurate, nor is it true."
Court records shows that Edwards was arrested the second time on Jan. 1 by Baltimore Police Officer Brent R. Fleming. Further details were not immediately available.
Edwards served as a reporter for WJZ-TV from 1994 to Jan. 2009 and for two months as a spokesman for Baltimore City Council President Bernard C. "Jack" Young.
This is what those who are hungry for power and control do behind closed doors.
ReplyDeleteMost of it you never hear about because it happens behind closed doors and the women are threatened to keep quiet or else. Only when women go to a hospital for treatment is it usually first discovered.
Research of domestic violence by some law enforcement is startling.
anyone that raises their hand to a woman is in my book the lowest form of life.
ReplyDeleteWhat Edwards needs is a good ol'fashioned country ass whoop'n
