Police Sergeant Allegedly Kidnapped Patio Contractor in Order to Extort a Refund
A Baltimore City Police Sergeant is accused of shaking down a patio contractor for a refund. His name is James Lloyd, 45. The incident happened June 25, according to county police in a Baltimore Sun report.
Lloyd alleged met the victim in May, who sorted out a price quote of $7,000 to build the defendant a patio. But they allegedly had issues. Lloyd said his significant other (a wife or girlfriend) wanted the patio to be larger; he said that patio stones had spread apart. The victim asked for another $1,400.
That wouldn’t happen, police said. The victim arrived at the residence. Lloyd demanded his driver’s license. The contractor asked why. Lloyd showed him his police badge, and told him his license was suspended. The defendant allegedly threatened to have him arrested and vehicle towed.
According to police, three other officers arrived at the scene, two of whom had their badges and guns out.
