On 10/27/11 approx. 1900 hrs., myself, along with Det. Sgt. Gialamas were conducting a narcotics investigation in the area
of 2300 Elk. Biddle St. I know this area to be a high drug/crime area. I witnessed through a clear and unobstructed view, a
wearing a blk. jacket with a white shirt underneath and blue jeans standing near a construction site located in the 2300 Elk.
Biddle St., near Patterson Park Ave. This was later identi?ed as Def. Antoine Green (M,B,age 32, DOB 5/16/79). Def.
Green was approached by approx. eight (8) unknown males and females. Def. Green began collecting US Currency from the
group and placed it into his front right pants pocket. Def. Green then reached into his front waistband area and removed a clear
plastic bag containing small object(s) consistent to the size of ODS packaged for street level distribution.

Due to training and experience in narcotics enforcement, along with knowledge of this area, i believed a CDS transaction was
occurring. Det. Sgt. Gialamas as drove our unmarked vehicle towards the group to further investigate. At this point, Def. Green
noticed our approach and yelled He then tossed the clear plastic bag of suspected CDS over top of the temporary fence
that was safeguarding the construction site. He then took off running Bound on Patterson Park and ran 8 Bound into an alley
behind Patterson Park. I exited the vehicle and pursued Def. Green into the alley and lost sight of him brie?y. Det. Sgt. Gialamas
broadcasted that we were involved in a foot chase that was heading through various alleys towards Prentiss Place, and additional
units were called to the scene Det. Sgt. Gieiamas also noti?ed Cats. Reed, WestOn, anu' Carrington, to secure the discarded
CBS and directed them to it's location.

During the canvass for Def. Green, a 911 call was dispatched via KGA for a at 2236 Prentiss Place. The caller, Ms. Epps
stated a BM who matched the description of Def. Green had just kicked in her rear door and entered her home. Fearing
for her safety, Ms. Epps locked herself in her bedroom. Suf?cient units surrounded the home and located Def. Green hiding in
the basement. I noticed that Def. Green?s pants and shirt were n?pped and he had sustained a scratch to his right arm.
it is unknown if this occurred while he was running or while he was breaking into the home. He had also discarded his black
jacket in the kitchen of the residence. was able to positively identify Def. Green as the suspect and he was placed under arrest.

Incident to arrest, seized $237.00 from Def. Green's front right pants pocket.

Det. Reed contacted me and noti?ed that he had recovered the suspected CDS from the construction site from the exact place
Def. Green was observed tossing it. it consisted of a clear plastic bag cont. 8 gelcaps cont. powder subst. (suspected heroin).
There was no other debris in the vicinity of the recovered 008.

I observed that the rear door to 2236 Prentiss Place was kicked in and wide open, ?with the top and side frames lying inside
the kitchen on the floor. The amount of damage caused is valued approx. less than $500.00. EVU was called to secure the rear
door. Ms. Epps? boyfriend, an off duty police of?cer, Williams, arrived on scene as well. 

While inside the residence, 1 obtained a for this incident, a CDS Violation. Def. Green heard this and shouted ?l'll take
the breakin in i aint takin that drug charge!? He became increasingly upset and was placed into the wagon. Once
inside the wagon, Def. Green calmed down and expressed a desire to apologize to Ms. Epps for breaking into her home. He
was allowed to re~enter the home and began ?ailing around and shouting 'take these fuckin cuffs off me!? He then fell to the ?oor
and tried to get up quickly. He then attempted to charge and head-butt off-duty of?cer Williams. He continued flailing, kicking,
and screaming FUCKED UP, YALL FUCKED and was brought back outside and transported to the ED. He was photographed
at the ED due to his shirt being torn in the scuffle. He was transported to CBIF to be charged accordingly. All above property
was submitted to ECU by Det. Reed, and all events occurred in Baltimore City, State of Maryland. Ms. Epps was issued a 309
