Baltimore County Police responded to The Avenue at White Marsh located in the 8100-block of Honeygo Boulevard in Nottingham on Saturday, Dec. 29 at 9 p.m. for a group of disorderly juveniles coming from White Marsh Mall.
As a result, one male juvenile was charged with destruction of property and disorderly conduct in the 7900-block of Honeygo Boulevard, two juvenile females were charged with assault which involved an officer, and an additional assault continues to be investigated. The officer involved did not suffer any injuries.
Police do not have any further information at this time.
Councilman David Marks, R-5, has been critical of the management of White Marsh Mall for not adopting a youth escort policy and said he is sad to see some of thire problems spilling over to the Avenue.
“Councilwoman [Cathy] Bevins, D-6, sponsored a resolution that I supported urging the mall to adopt a youth escort policy. The mall is owned by the same company that operates Towson Town Center, where a youth escort policy has been effective. Towson Town Center actually made the policy tougher during the week between Christmas and New Years. Why White Marsh Mall is ignored is inexplicable to me,” Mark said.
“Federal Realty owns the Avenue and the Giant across the street. Federal Realty has been very proactive, but the mall’s problems are affecting other properties.”
