Baltimore’s police commissioner resigned on May 15 after being charged with failing to file income taxes, in another setback for the eighth-biggest U.S. police department as it grapples with high levels of violent crime.
Darryl De Sousa, who had headed the 3,100-strong department since January, submitted his resignation to Mayor Catherine Pugh, and it was accepted, Pugh said in a statement, adding that city safety remained her “top priority.”
