Ravens Fan Denied Bail After Viral Assault on Commanders Fans
A Maryland judge ruled Jack Callis must remain in jail, citing public safety concerns and substance abuse issues.
- Jack Callis, a 24-year-old Ravens fan, is accused of attacking two Washington Commanders fans in October in a viral video that showed him brutally assaulting the men in Baltimore's Federal Hill area.
- Baltimore Circuit Judge Yolanda A. Tanner denied Callis bail for a second time, citing his cocaine and alcohol abuse and deeming him a danger to public safety.
- Callis faces one count of first-degree assault, carrying a maximum sentence of 25 years, and three counts of second-degree assault, each carrying up to 10 years in prison.
- Defense attorneys argued for Callis’ release to an outpatient treatment program, but the judge criticized their presentation during the hearing as unconvincing and disorganized.
