Blinksportsnews247Baltimore, Maryland — According to a source, a group of politicians is requesting that Baltimore County authorities make public a 911 call related to a domestic abuse incident that may have included rookie wide receiver Zay Flowers of the Baltimore Ravens.
Last week, the Baltimore Banner revealed that the Baltimore County Police Department was notified of an alleged assault that took place in the Owings Mills neighborhood on January 21 and that included Flowers. The Banner reported that an Acton, Massachusetts, police agency was also a part of the inquiry.
The Banner was not given any more information by any agency.
Flowers is not facing any criminal charges.
Legislators including Delegates Matt Morgan, Lauren Arikan, Robin Grammar, Kathy Szeliga, Mark Fisher, Ryan Nawrocki, and Brian Chisholm stated in a letter to Baltimore County Executive Johnny Olszewski that Fox 45 was able to obtain: “Transparency within our community is essential.” Reconsideration is warranted for the denial of the recording’s release, given its significance to the current inquiry.
“Withholding these recordings perpetuates a narrative that some individuals are exempt from scrutiny due to their affluence and social status,” read the letter.
They went on to say, “Authorizing the release of the requested 9-1-1 calls would affirm the county’s commitment to treating every case equally while assuring the public that matters involving high-profile individuals are not veiled in secrecy.”
Seven days after the day on which the assault accusation was reported, on January 28, Flowers participated in Baltimore’s AFC Championship defeat. When the investigation started is unknown. Furthermore, it is unknown if the Ravens were aware of the probe prior to facing Flowers in the AFC Championship.
According to NBC Sports, Flowers, the Ravens’ first-round selection, scored six touchdowns overall in 16 games and established franchise rookie marks for receptions (77) and receiving yards (858).
Flowers, a native of Fort Lauderdale, holds a Boston College degree. About 25 miles separate that from Acton.
After the Baltimore Banner’s article was released last week, Patch gave the public information office of the Baltimore County Police Department a call. They requested that we email our inquiries. Patch made the request and has not received a response.
When Patch called the Acton Police Department, they likewise declined to respond. A spokeswoman referenced a Massachusetts statute that forbids police from offering commentary on investigations into domestic abuse. They sent Patch’s question back to the police in Baltimore County.
