Police Blotter is a sampling of crimes from police reports in Baltimore and Baltimore County.

Drug arrestsA woman, her son and a teenage boy of no relation were arrested Wednesday afternoon and charged with multiple drug violations. Armed with a search and seizure warrant, members of the district drug enforcement unit entered an apartment in the 700 block of Pennsylvania Ave. and arrested Annie Robinson, 54, her son, William Broaddus, 29, and a male, 16, on charges of possession and possession with intent to distribute crack cocaine and marijuana. In addition, Broaddus also was charged with contributing to the delinquency of a minor. His mother also was charged with conspiracy. The arrests followed an undercover purchase of cocaine in April, said Det. David Jones. Seized were $753, 11 grams of crack cocaine, 15 grams of marijuana, a scale and packaging materials.
