Baltimore NAACP official arrested -- baltimoresun.com:
"Baltimore police arrested the vice president of Baltimore's NAACP chapter Thursday afternoon after heroin and marijuana were recovered during a search of his car, though prosecutors declined to pursue charges.
Police said Ellis L. Staten Jr., 44, who is also an executive committee member of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People's Maryland conference, was in the driver's seat of a car that had stopped near Pennsylvania Avenue and Dolphin Street, which police say is a well-known drug market.
Records show that Staten has no prior drug charges or criminal convictions. He was charged in 2006 with assault and harassment, and court records show the complainant was listed as Marjorie Green, the NAACP state conference's vice president. Prosecutors dropped the charges. Green also requested a peace order against Staten, which was temporarily granted but eventually dismissed."
