Vernon Evans has been a key figure in the battle against lethal injection in Maryland and other states. He and Anthony Grandison are currently on death row for the murders of two clerks at a the Warren House Motel (currently a Howard Johnson) in Pikesville in 1983.[6]
Ziad Jarrah, a suspected terrorist involved in the 9/11 attacks, was pulled over two days earlier for speeding in Pikesville.[7]
In April 2005, nine bison knocked down their gate on a nearby farm and roamed free around the Pikesville area until police officers were able to corral them onto the tennis court of a townhouse complex by Hooks Lane, several miles away. The owner, Gerald "Buzz" Berg, said that the bison were likely headed for a trip to the slaughterhouse. Police said Berg would face no charges. |
