A federal judge has thrown out a lawsuit that a woman filed against two Baltimore County Police officers who arrested her in 2024 after she called and reported that a man exposed himself when she was delivering an order for DoorDash.
Jackie Conway, a retired captain in the Baltimore City Sheriff’s Office, originally filed the lawsuit in 2025 in Baltimore County Circuit Court against Officer Jasmine Jeffry and Sgt. Bryan McDowell, alleging that they violated her constitutional rights.
U.S. District Judge Matthew J. Maddox on Tuesday dismissed the lawsuit and stated in a one-page order that he would later explain his reasons in a written opinion.
“We’re just going to appeal it,” said J. Wyndal Gordon, one of Conway’s attorneys. “I don’t understand how you can just summarily dismiss a case like what happened to Ms. Conway without permitting the parties to go through some discovery — or based upon the allegations in the pleadings.”
Dakarai Turner, a spokesperson for Baltimore County, said he was unable to provide a comment at this time while awaiting the judge’s opinion.
On Oct. 29, 2024, Conway went to deliver food from Panera Bread to a townhome on Edgewood Road when she alleges the customer opened the door with his genitals hanging out.
Conway, 61, of Baltimore, said she went back to her SUV.
When the man aggressively approached her vehicle, Conway said, she retrieved her Glock 27 but kept the gun at a low-ready position: pointed down toward the floorboard. She provided her wear-and-carry permit to police and told them she was a retired law enforcement officer.
The man, Keyon Agnew, claims that Conway told him, “Get away from my car before I put a bullet in you.”
Police arrested Conway on charges of first- and second-degree assault.
But a district court commissioner later determined that there was no probable cause for her arrest.
Jeffry contacted Assistant State’s Attorney Samuel Dominick III to review the case because she stated the evidence “highly suggested” that the arrest was “made prematurely and without a completed and thorough investigation of all possible facts.”
On the morning after the arrest, Jeffry texted Conway and reported that she had expressed concerns with her direct supervisors.
“We are going to be reaching out to the states attorneys office in reference to this incident this morning,” Jeffry wrote. “We are also hoping to pursue charges against the young man that exposed himself to you yesterday.”
The Baltimore County State’s Attorney’s Office later dropped all charges.
Five days later, police moved to charge Agnew, 22, of Towson, with indecent exposure.
Prosecutors also dismissed the case against him due to insufficient evidence.
