A Baltimore City police cadet charged in the robbery of a Parkville McDonald?s adamantly denied involvement in the crime, court records show.
But while being interviewed at the city?s Southern District, Aaron Seivers, 28, of Middle River, behaved suspiciously ? telling
several conflicting stories and treating investigators with hostility.
“Seivers? demeanor became hostile as he denied that his vehicle was involved in any crime,” wrote Baltimore County Detective Kenneth Lang in police report. “? In this confrontational interview, Seivers gave three accounts concerning his whereabouts.”
Seivers first told investigators he was asleep at his girlfriend?s house during the robbery, which occurred at 6:24 a.m. on Oct. 28 in the 2100 block of East Joppa Road. Then, Seivers said he was at a gas station during the holdup, which netted $1,200. Finally, Seivers said he was followed in his car that night by two people but was not involved in the crime, stressing that no one had access to his vehicle other than himself.
On Oct. 28 a tattooed man with cornrows entered the Parkville McDonald?s and pointed a handgun at several employees, ordering them into the office area of the restaurant. The suspect ordered the store?s manager to empty the register drawers into a plastic bag, then left the restaurant.
But he was followed by two of the McDonald?s employees, who saw the suspect climb into a silver BMW owned by Seivers, police said. The driver of the BMW sensed he was being tailed and began to drive “evasively,” reaching speeds of 90 miles per hour, charging documents state.
Police later found the BMW parked at the Southern District police station, where Seivers worked as a cadet.
Seivers is charged with accessory after the fact, a crime that carries a penalty of up to five years incarceration. He was not the gunman in the robbery, according to police.
He was officially fired from the Baltimore City Police Department on Thursday, but could reapply for his position if he is cleared of the charge, said Agent Donny Moses, a city police spokesman.
Reached by phone, Seivers loudly said: “No comment.”
