Man Arrested For Sexual Assault in Precinct Six/Towson

Suspect Identified After Arrest in July 19 Peeping Tom and Burglary Cases

Baltimore County, Md. (July 23, 2012) - Ricky Marion Bostic, 43, of the 200 block of Towsontown Court, 21204, was arrested on July 19 after officers responded to a burglary that had just occurred in the 100 block of Versailles Circle, 21204. A 38-year-old woman fell asleep on the couch in her apartment while watching a movie. She woke up when someone tried to open her sliding glass door and she then yelled for her boyfriend. They were able to provide a description of the suspect, and responding officers located the man walking on Towsontown Boulevard a short time later.

Chief Praises Work of Officers

"Our officers did an exceptional job in this case. They not only detained this suspect quickly, they looked beyond the original crime to connect him to another very serious offense,” said Chief Jim Johnson.
The suspect was also found to be in possession of credit cards taken during an additional burglary. Detectives responded to the apartment, which was located in the same building as the attempted burglary. The victim reported that the cards and money had been taken from her purse, which had been sitting on the nightstand next to the bed where she and her child were sleeping.
Ricky Bostic was arrested and charged with attempted fourth degree burglary, trespassing, peeping tom, disorderly conduct, first degree burglary, and attempted first degree burglary.

Responsible for May Incident

Detectives determined that the suspect also matched the physical description of a suspect responsible for a sexual assault that had occurred on York Road in Towson on May 24.
On May 24, officers responded to a home in the unit block of York Road, 21204, for a possible sexual assault. A woman who lived in the home reported that she had woken up in her bedroom to find a black male with a shaved head touching her. She yelled at the suspect, who then fled on foot. There were indications that a second roommate who was asleep in a different room had also been sexually assaulted, but the victim was unable to tell detectives what happened. Forensic evidence recovered from the scene indicated that a sexual assault had occurred.
Detectives were able to link Ricky Bostic to the sexual assault through fingerprints recovered at the scene of the assault to those taken after his arrest on July 19. He was charged with first degree sex offense, first degree burglary, and third degree sex offense.
Ricky Bostic is being held without bail at the Baltimore County Detention Center.

Grant Awarded for Towson Bike Beltway

From Councilman Marks:

"I just wanted to inform you that the state has awarded Baltimore County a grant to implement the Towson Bike Beltway.

 

I am thrilled by this announcement.  Towson has a lot of congestion, but it is difficult to add highway capacity.  Bike lanes will hopefully persuade more motorists, including students, to use bicyclists instead of their cars.

 

Rodgers Forge resident Stu Sirota co-chairs the Fifth District Pedestrian and Bicycle Advisory Committee and was central in writing the application.

Newsletter Correction - Message from the President

In my July president's message it was inadvertently indicated  that the new bike rack has been installed, but it has not been yet. The picture is of the existing bike rack, and it was getting much more use this past spring. The new bike rack, obtained by the RFCA Back to School committee, is in the school waiting for the installation process to be completed. I apologize for the misprint.

RFCOP Update:

It was a rough week last week with the power outage from the storm.  The two 4^th degree burglaries on Gaywood and Pinehurst were generators that were stolen from the back yards.  We did have people out patrolling which might be the reason the Forge again made it through the power outage with a minimum of crime issues.  Thank to everyone who was vigilant during this time and looking out for each other.  In the next month or two we will be presenting crime stats for the past year and a half.  I would like to thank Rob Williams for taking on the task of combing through the crime reports to gather this information together.  If you have any questions or suggestions for ways to improve the RFCOP or would like to participate on an available basis, please reply to this email or send to rfcitizensonpatrol@gmail.com.
