Officer Dino Gregory, a 19-year veteran of the force and a former member of the U.S. Army’s 101st Airborne “Screaming Eagles” assault team, said he walked out of his Harford County home Saturday morning and fell into a knee-high snowdrift. That’s no small drift, because at 6 feet 9 inches, Gregory is the tallest officer on the city force.
The 51-year-old called the military base at Aberdeen and a driver in an Army Humvee picked him up – he waited two hours on a street – and drove him to the Baltimore County line. From there, a county police officer in a four-wheel drive drove him to the station on East Baltimore Street. It took him five hours, and he still was two hours late.
For the next eight hours, Gregory stood in front of a downtown 7-Eleven “to make sure they didn’t get robbed.” When his regular shift had ended, he made up the two hours of lost time standing “in the freezing cold” at The Block on East Baltimore Street looking at the nearly deserted strip clubs, only two of which were open.
