Police Release Mugshots of Suspected Door Kick-in Burglars

Dundalk resident Dianna Marketti and Joseph Baumgarten of Pasadena are wanted after failing to appear at a bail hearing.

Howard County Police have released the mugshots of the two suspects wanted in a string of door kick-in burglaries throughout Howard County.

Joseph Leo Baumgarten, of Pasadena, and Dianna Marketti, of Dundalk, were arrested on Oct. 4 after police said they tracked them down through a set of stolen Batlimore Ravens tickets. The two were charged with 25 counts each related to four daytime door kick-in burglaries and suspected in ten other burglaries that occurred in September, according to police.

However, a court commissioner, Oreon W. Pinkston II, on Oct. 5 and both posted it that day. On Nov. 15, the two suspects failed to appear at a bond hearing scheduled to adjust their bail, according to court records.
