Baltimore Officer Accused of Falsifying Traffic Stops | Annapolis News
Description
Baltimore police are investigating Officer Dequwan Houchins, a five-year veteran accused of falsifying public records and misconduct in office by logging fake traffic stops to dodge routine duties. Undercover detectives caught him sitting in his patrol car, even ordering a smoothie, while claiming to be on duty—repeatedly between April and May. Prosecutors say he logged eight phantom stops, despite only conducting nine real ones. Internal affairs found no body cam footage for those alleged stops, casting doubt on his claims. Houchins, 31, faces his first court appearance on September 10th, as this case underscores the urgent need for accountability in law enforcement.
