Overview
- Christopher M. Carroll, 36, was ordered held without bond Thursday in Towson District Court after turning himself in the day before.
- He faces 23 counts, including 20 for allegedly causing others to ingest bodily fluids and three for malicious destruction of property.
- Charging documents describe videos posted under online personas, seized devices, surveillance footage, and DNA matches from swabbed items such as a keyboard and coffee creamer.
- Investigators began probing the conduct in late 2025, the fire department suspended Carroll on Dec. 1, and an arrest warrant issued this week led to his surrender.
- Fire Chief Joseph Dixon told staff the department is planning equipment sanitization, and the union called the allegations a serious breach of trust; each ingestion count carries up to 10 years in prison and fines.
