Overview
- Police charging documents cited by WBAL say Young was issued a criminal summons after an alleged dispute on South Charles Street in which another driver reported being punched and yelled at.
- Charging papers obtained by the Baltimore Sun show a woman applied for a single second-degree assault charge alleging Young struck her during a car ride early on Jan. 1.
- Young’s attorney says he denies all accusations and has filed for a speedy trial, with a court appearance expected next month.
- Court records indicate Young has not been arrested, and Maryland’s process allows private citizens to seek charges that a district court commissioner reviews before prosecutors weigh in.
- The Baltimore City State’s Attorney’s Office says it is conflicted out and has contacted the complainant, and prior misdemeanor assault cases involving Young since 2023 appear to have been dropped before trial with related protection petitions dismissed.
