Two former Baltimore Police detectives with the corrupt Gun Trace Task Force were released from prison last week after serving only five years of their seven-year sentences, records show.
Detectives Evodio Hendrix, 37, of Randallstown and Maurice Ward, 41, of Middle River were released Feb. 16, online court records show.
It is unclear why the men were released early, but when the two were sentenced in June 2018, prosecutors asked for lesser sentences due to their extensive cooperation. Prosecutors said at the time information from the officers was being used in continuing investigations.
