Thanks to the Harford County Sheriff’s Office for their assistance with the investigation and arrest of Suspect Stokes.”
From the Bel Air Police Department:
On Sunday, June 23, at approximately 8:25 pm, Officers from the Bel Air Police Department responded to the Upper Chesapeake Medical Center in regards to a 22 year old male victim (Bel Air resident) that sustained a stab injury.
Investigators learned that on Sunday evening at approximately 8 pm, the victim and a group of young adults were playing basketball at the Bel Air Middle School basketball court (99 Idlewild Street, Bel Air, Md). A dispute escalated into a physical confrontation while at the court.
During the confrontation, the victim sustained a non-life threatening stab wound to the rear of his upper left arm. The suspect(s) fled the scene in a vehicle (no further description) after the altercation. The victim hired a personal injury lawyer for guidance on the case.
Investigators are continuing to work on developing suspect(s) information and leads. There is no indication that the incident poses a threat to the security of the Bel Air Middle or surrounding schools.
Please contact investigator Alex Maro (410-638-4500) if you have information about this crime.
There were several witnesses to the incident. Why was the race and gender not provided in this article? Could it be for the same reason that certain groups of people are never represented as burglars on home security advertisements?
Does the race of the person even matter? Someone was stabbed playing basketball! Geez!
No, except for the fact everyone knows already. It’s the same reason half of the folks who fled Baltimore over the past 30 years came here. As more apartments and section 8″s are built the more of this you’ll see. In 20 years you wont even recognize this town.
I don’t recognize it now
It does if you want to help the police and the community get a criminal off the street. Why not put out all the information you have to more quickly catch the person responsible. You are very correct someone was stabbed. Very serious incident. Why should we allow this PC crap to hinder the investigation and allow a dangerous criminal to be out on the street one second longer than necessary???
My favorite home security commercial.
My point exactly. You had to dig up a thirty year old commercial. I liked the hair styles and clothes. Lol. Back then the demographics displayed by the media were more accurate and true. Society was more interested in getting bad apples off the street than worrying about hurting someone’s feelings. My further point is the more information that is provided the better chance of catching the suspect. Nice try busted. Show me are recent commercial since the PC stuff started.
That commercial had nothing to do with getting bad apples of the stree but lets not let that get in the way of you hysteria…..
Sorry for the spelling issues I spilled a grape soda in my keyboard
The best commercial!!! Irish American right? I’m offended!!

Oh, come on… A friendly game of basketball turns ugly over a foul not being called, then the knives come out. Not in Bel Air! Section 8 will destroy this town- you must earn the right to enjoy this type of living. Im sure Mr. Stokes will be missing from his white collar job for a few months.
He was just starting to get his life together. Probably hasn’t stabbed or shot anyone in over a year. Give the man a break.
Why is someone coming to Bel Air from Dundalk to play basketball?
Technically, 21224 is Highlandtown, but they do allow us Dundalk residents to cross into HarCo. Even the inner sanctum of Bel Air!!
I think if you both had looked a little harder you would see that the Defendant was also frequenting Edgewood and did have an address in Edgewood. I don’t know how you guys missed case #D09CV19010347. He also had a prior address in Bel Air as according to case #3R00099172. Does every person whom you know and hang out with live in the same ZIP CODE as you do? Don’t you have past neighbors you still consider friends that you visit from time to time? The answer to your question of “Why is someone coming to Bel Air from Dundalk to play basketball?” is right in front of your eyes. You just have to look….
Your bigoted claptrap is getting tiring, Soul Crusher. No one cares if there is a gum tree in Nevada.
Yeah, you’re just an idiot. I tell you what, you come to me talking that crap and I’ll show you a big Juicy Fruit Tree growing in Uranus….
Pig.
Thanks!
Best basketball player at BAHS…Cordell Jackson or Jeff Bullis?
