The Baltimore Police Department announced the arrest of Robert Lee Murphy in connection with the shocking murder of Frederick Maryland taxi driver Stephen Mauk. Murphy has been charged with first degree and second degree murder along numerous handgun violation.

Few details were released related to the arrest or the murder. At this point what is known is Mauk made a routine pickup in Frederick, and was not seen nor heard from again. Shortly after 4:00 AM on January 29th, his murdered body was found with the taxicab near a Baltimore housing project.

After the incident which caused great fear and concern among Baltimore cab drivers, many cabbies said they were having second thoughts remaining in one of "the most dangerous jobs in the world." Blaine Young, co-owner of City Cab Co. in Frederick told The Baltimore Spectator there were plans to crush and destroy the minivan taxi in which Mauk was killed. They also plan to permanently retire the unit number of the cab in his memory.

Currently Murphy is in custody at the Howard County Detention Center on unrelated charges. Frederick County also has a detainer on Murphy for a carjacking taking place just eight days prior to the cab driver killing on Bond St. on January 26.

MESSAGE TO ALL LAW ENFORCEMENT/INTELLIGENCE AGENCIES

To all those who willfully, deliberately and routinely violate the civil rights of law abiding American Citizens; Yes, you're powerful. Sure, you're everywhere. But this is still America, and the Constitution of the United States Of America still reigns supreme as the law of the land. The Baltimore Spectator will vigorously and aggressively defend against any and all attempts at spying and suppression. Let it be known to all that we are already aware of the regular monitoring and shadowing attempts. There is nothing to hide, but cross the line and there will be hell to pay.

In the end, efforts to impinge upon the freedoms of the people will ultimately fail. Some of us may get taken out in the ongoing battle for true and lasting freedom, but as I've said many times before, and will say till the day I die or get taken out by you goons, THERE ARE MORE OF US, THAN THERE ARE OF YOU.
