BALTIMORE (AP) The reputed leader of a violent East Baltimore-based gang who was released to home confinement last year amid the COVID-19 pandemic has fled and a warrant has been issued for his arrest, authorities said.
The Baltimore Sun reports that Gary “Hov” Creek, 39, had been free on pretrial release for drug charges filed in 2019. Authorities had arranged to have him turn himself in Thursday as a new indictment was unsealed, but Creek did not show, Assistant U.S. Attorney Patricia McLane wrote in a request for a warrant.
