BALTIMORE — Baltimore Police arrested Joseph Black late Wednesday morning a little more than half a day after officials alleged he accelerated his vehicle while engaged with a Baltimore police sergeant during a traffic stop Tuesday night, dragging the officer about two blocks and leaving him badly injured.
Black, 36, barricaded himself in a West Baltimore home Wednesday morning, causing an hourslong standoff with police, but was taken into custody without incident, police said.
He was armed during the traffic stop and later confessed to striking the officer, officials said. Police did not release what charges Black may be facing Wednesday afternoon.
