| Description: | Batts held a gun to a man's head and punched him in the face during an arrest this month
As his security detail struggled with an armed man this month, Baltimore Police Commissioner Anthony W. Batts held a gun to the suspect's head and punched him in the face before gaining control of the man's weapon, court documents show.
Batts and his three member security detail arrested Alante Moultrie, 20, on May 16 in the 2300 block of E. Monument St., shortly after they left the scene of a police involved shooting. Moultrie is being held without bond on drug and gun charges.
According to charging documents, Batts' driver pulled over for an unspecified reason and members of the detail dressed in suits approached six men standing in front of a deli. Moultrie was standing just inside the open door of a GMC van when Detective Ryan Diener identified himself as a police officer.
Diener asked Moultrie his name, then saw what he believed to be a gun, Diener wrote in charging documents.
