The Baltimore State’s Attorney’s Office has secured indictments accusing four Baltimore Police officers of engaging in multiple incidents of misconduct between 2024 and 2025.

Officers Kevin Dugan, Kevin Hilton, Menachem Rosenbloom and Mordechai Mandelbaum were charged Friday in Baltimore Circuit Court, where they’re scheduled to make their initial appearances on April 27. It’s unclear if any of them have retained an attorney.

“Allegations of excessive use of force by police officers strike at the very foundation of public trust,” Baltimore State’s Attorney Ivan Bates said in a statement. “When that trust is eroded, so too is public safety.”

All four officers have been suspended with pay, Lindsey Eldridge, a spokesperson for the Baltimore Police Department, said in an email.

She said three are assigned to administrative duties and one is on leave, without specifying which individuals.

“I take allegations of police misconduct extremely seriously, as the integrity of our profession depends on it,” Baltimore Police Commissioner Richard Worley said in a statement.

The president of the Fraternal Order of Police Lodge No. 3, Mike Mancuso, could not be reached on Monday for comment.

The indictments allege the following:

Officer Kevin Dugan

Dugan, 37, a more than three-year veteran, is charged with five counts of misconduct in office. He could not be reached for comment.

Prosecutors allege that Dugan was helping with crowd control in Fells Point on June 8, 2024, when he approached a woman he saw hit a man in the back of the head. A minor put his arms out to protect her.

Dugan grabbed the child and caused him to fall backward onto the concrete, the indictment states, and then hit the minor in the throat with a wooden nightstick.

In an incident report, Dugan wrote, “The male moved in between me and the female I was attempting to arrest and grabbed my vest in an attempt to stop me. At which time I then used a take down on him and held him on the ground.”

Five minutes later, Dugan pepper-sprayed a man in the face with no legal justification, the indictment alleges.

Fast-forward four months.

On Oct. 13, 2024, Dugan was part of a team that conducted a traffic stop on West North Avenue in Mondawmin, after detectives reported a suspect in a killing one week earlier had been in the vehicle.

Police sat all three occupants of the car on the curb and handcuffed them behind their backs.

Dugan is accused of abruptly and aggressively approaching one of them and pulling his arms up behind him. That’s something Dugan repeated two more times.

When the man started making jokes and drawing laughter from onlookers, Dugan grabbed him by the back of the neck and forced his head inside a vehicle, prosecutors allege.

“I told you 10 times now if you do it again, there’s gonna be even more severe consequences!” Dugan said, according to the indictment.

Then, Dugan pushed him face-first onto the curb, put a knee on his back and pulled the man’s arms using the handcuffs, prosecutors reported.

Police released the man without any charges.

Officer Kevin Hilton

Hilton, 28, who’s been on the force for more than six years, is charged with second-degree assault and misconduct in office. He could not be reached for comment.

Prosecutors reported that Hilton responded to Pennsylvania Avenue in Upton on March 30, 2025, as backup to a fight between multiple people.

After a man reached under his arm, Hilton pushed the man to the ground and then asked, “What are you doing?” three times while holding him up by his jacket, the indictment alleges.

The man reported he was trying to break up the fight.

Later, Hilton walked the man backward and shoved him, causing him to fall on his back and down three stone steps, prosecutors allege.

“Get your ass up and get out of here!” Hilton said, according to the indictment.

Officers Menachem Rosenbloom and Mordechai Mandelbaum

Rosenbloom, 34, who’s been with the department for over five years, is charged with four counts of misconduct in office, two counts of making false statements and one count of second-degree assault. He could not be reached for comment.

Mandelbaum, 34, who’s been with the agency for more than four years, is charged with two counts each of misconduct in office and making a false statement. He declined to comment.

Prosecutors stated the two were working together on June 26, 2025, responded to a call on East Chase Street in Johnston Square, and later noticed a man had left his two children alone in an apartment.

Police pursued him.

At one point, Mandelbaum got out of the vehicle, took a few steps, lost his balance and fell onto the sidewalk.

But Mandelbaum, the indictment claims, told Rosenbloom that the man had tripped and kicked him. Rosenbloom called out over the radio that there had been an assault on police, and the officers then laughed and joked about the fall.

They later found the man, who stopped running and put his hands up.

The indictment states that Rosenbloom pepper-sprayed him in the face with no legal justification and did it three more times after he got on the ground.

Prosecutors reported Rosenbloom and Mandelbaum then had the following exchange:

“You make up for your bad tactics,” Mandelbaum told Rosenbloom.

“I maced him like four times,” Rosenbloom responded.

“On camera, thank you for avenging me,” Mandelbaum replied.

Rosenbloom and Mandelbaum both made false statements, including to a sergeant, prosecutors assert.

In a statement, Baltimore Mayor Brandon Scott said, “Nobody is above the law — especially those who are sworn to uphold it."
