(Aberdeen, Maryland) August 28, 2008 - At about 02:25 hrs the Baltimore County Police received a call of an injured subject in the area of Ebenezer Road and Pulaski Highway.
Arriving officers found 30 year old Brian Baynes suffering from a serious arm injury. Baynes is an employee for the restaurant concession at Ripken Stadium in Aberdeen.
Baynes was finishing up nightly duties in an office area when a male entered, displayed a handgun and demanded money. After receiving an undisclosed amount of money the male forced Baynes into his vehicle and forced him to drive from the area. The in area of Ebenezer Road and Pulaski Highway Baynes exited his vehicle and ran into a wooded area.
During the incident Baynes suffered a laceration type injury to his arm. He is being treated at Bayview Hospital. The Aberdeen Police Department Criminal Investigation Section is conducting the investigation and anyone with information regarding this incident is asked to contact the section at 410-272-2121.
The Ripken Stadium web site has Baynes’ full biography:
An owner of two successful restaurants in Baltimore and Carroll Counties, Brian’s experience as a restaurateur also includes affiliations with such corporate chains as Glory Days Grill. Since joining the Levy Restaurants management team in December 2007, Brian has already become an integral member of Levy’s sports and entertainment venues throughout the region, contributing to the opening of the Mall of America for Nickelodeon, the NCAA playoffs at Verizon Center, and operations at Wrigley Field, Texas Motor Speedway and Churchill Downs on behalf of the Kentucky Derby.
2:25 a.m. sounds kinda late/early to be in the office, but I suppose Baynes was kidnapped a little while earlier and it took a bit of time to get to Ebenezer Road. But did he bail out of the vehicle he was being forced to drive at gunpoint?
And how routine/regular are the Aberdeen Police Department’s patrols at Ripken Stadium? Does the stadium have security in place when IronBirds games aren’t ongoing?
Was the restaurant…bar opened till 1 am…..he would be there mabey until 2 am…at least 1 30….an hour to get messed with and dumped and find his way to a phone or help….very feasable. Of course I dont know the detailes…just throwing that out.
This is a horrible crime! I have to wonder, who on Earth would have known he was still there at such an hour? Inside job, maybe? This will be an interesting story to follow! I’m glad the guy is going to be okay! The situation certainly could have turned out much different! Sounds like he has a good head on his shoulders, and thankfully, was able to keep his senses about him to think the situation through and escape!! Good thinking, Brian!!! Get well soon!!
Inside job im calling it right now watch he will be convicted. mock my words
that is just tooooo easy.
Has anyone heard anything new on this story? Just curious.
