A report published this week says Freddie Gray, the Baltimore man who died in police custody, had a lengthy rap sheet.

The report, published by Heavy.com and Fox News, which cite the Maryland Department of Corrections, noted that Gray wasn’t convicted on all of the charges.

Gray, 25, was first arrested in 2007 for “possession of a controlled dangerous substance with intent to distribute” and “unlawful possession of a controlled dangerous substance.”

There’s a number of charges related to drug distribution.  

Here’s the full list of charges, according to the report:

March 20, 2015: Possession of a Controlled Dangerous Substance
March 13, 2015: Malicious destruction of property, second-degree assault
January 20, 2015: Fourth-degree burglary, trespassing
January 14, 2015: Possession of a controlled dangerous substance, possession of a controlled dangerous substance with intent to distribute
December 31, 2014: Possession of narcotics with intent to distribute
December 14, 2014: Possession of a controlled dangerous substance
August 31, 2014: Illegal gambling, trespassing
January 25, 2014: Possession of marijuana
September 28, 2013: Distribution of narcotics, unlawful possession of a controlled dangerous substance, second-degree assault, second-degree escape
April 13, 2012: Possession of a controlled dangerous substance with intent to distribute, unlawful possession of a controlled dangerous substance, violation of probation
July 16, 2008: Possession of a controlled dangerous substance, possession with intent to distribute
March 28, 2008: Unlawful possession of a controlled dangerous substance

On Wednesday, Maryland Gov. Larry Hogan said Tuesday’s night of relative calm was a “turning point” in the unrest that’s gripped the city.

“It’s not over yet,” Hogan said, according to the New York Times. “There’s still a lot of frustrations. There’s still a lot of hostility. There’s still anger in the community, and there’s still people out there that want to make trouble, and there’s still some folks that are out there that want to get things out of control.”
