From the Aberdeen Police Department:
During the past month the Aberdeen Police Department has been conducting an investigation into illegal drug sales occurring around the Amtrak station and its surrounding properties. This area was recognized by citizens at a recent community meeting as an area of concern. As a result of the public’s complaint this investigation was initiated.
On Monday, October 25, 2016, at approximately 1:10 PM, officers from the Aberdeen Police Department attempted to arrest Robert T. Henderson, 31, for an open felony warrant for narcotics violations directly related to drug activity in this area. Henderson was located at 18 E. Bel Air Avenue (Amtrak Station). He was approached by a uniformed patrol officer who attempted to take him into custody. Henderson disobeyed the officer’s orders to submit and attempted to flee the area, resulting in a scuffle. Responding officers arrived and were able to gain compliance over Henderson, only after a Taser was deployed to effect compliance.
During the struggle a detective suffered a significant hand injury requiring transport to Johns Hopkins Bayview for treatment. Henderson was transported to Harford Memorial Hospital, as a medical precaution, after ingesting suspected cocaine.
After a brief evaluation Henderson was released from the care of Harford Memorial Hospital and transported by officers to the Harford County Detention Center where he was committed for various offenses.
The injured detective was transported to Johns Hopkins Bayview where he underwent immediate surgery to repair his injured hand. The detective has since been released from the hospital and is recovering at home.

Here we go again. Another person who felt that he had the right to defy the police. As the result an officer who was performing his sworn duties got seriously injured. Only a matter of time before the media puts their spin on it……….poor down and out black man walking down the street minding is on affair when a policeman came up to him when he was kind of unaware and violated the rights…..and here we go. Jessie and Al are heading to Aberdeen. Oh, and don’t forget Mr. Henderson was just getting his life together

Is this cat related to the two brothers that play or played in the NFL? If so why is he out there slinging drugs?

Great, now maybe the Aberdeen police can investigate the scum buckets who piss all over the Amtrak train station tunnel just for the hell of it. It’s the most disgusting pedestrian underpass in North America.

I occasionally pick up out-of-town relatives at the Aberdeen station. Always a tense trip with the scum hanging around the station. A pepper spray canister is always at the ready.

Good old Aberdeen where you can find any kind of degenerate activity. The once All American City has fallen as low as it can.
