Kidnapping and Assault Suspect Caught by K-9 Unit

A man arrested for kidnapping and assault after being chased from a Dundalk trailer park by a Baltimore County police K-9 unit dog is scheduled to appear in District Court in two weeks.

A preliminary hearing for Marlow Otis McLane, 39, is scheduled for July 8 in Towson. He's charged with two-counts of kidnapping, two-counts of first-degree assault and a weapons violation.

McLane, of the of the 5000 block of Brookwood Road, Brooklyn, MD, was arrested on June 14 on a warrant issued in May. A police officer spotted him walking in the unit block of Mobile Vista Drive that morning, according to police.

McLane attempted to evade arrest by running into a nearby wooded area and then into the water, said Det. Cathy Batton, a Baltimore County police spokeswoman.

A police dog was sent in to pursue McLane, who was subsequently bitten in the arm. McLane was treated for non-life threatening injuries and then arrested on the May 11 warrant, according to police.

The warrant was issued in connection to an early morning incident May 11.

Two people told police that they were visiting a friend at his trailer in the 8200 block of Pulaski Highway in White Marsh. The pair allegedly argued about money with another acquaintance and then left, according to police.

The two victims said McLane forced them to return, held them against their will and assaulted them for an hour, according to police.

McLane is currently being held without bail at the Baltimore County Detention Center in Towson.
