A Maryland Motor Vehicle Administration spokesman said the husband of a Baltimore police officer under investigation for possible improprieties at the city’s impound yard does not work for the agency, as previously reported in The Examiner.
“We have several investigations ongoing at the moment, but it is not true that the officer’s husband works for the MVA,” said the spokesman, Buel Young.

Young was responding to an article Wednesday that said a suspended officer’s husband was part of an ongoing probe into missing vehicles at the city’s impound lot.
The Baltimore Police Department has yet to identify the officer who was suspended in September for allegedly altering vehicle records at the impound lot.
The article stated that investigators were probing any ties between the officer who was suspended for allegedly altering vehicle records while working at the impound lot and MVA employees.
But Young said that officer’s husband was not employed by his agency.
“We have zero-tolerance policy when it comes to fraud we investigate. We could have several investigations going on at the moment that we can’t comment on, but this case does not involve us.”
The Examiner story appeared after members of the police department’s Regional Auto Task Force arrested Juawann Smith in connection with the disappearance of 2003 Volkswagen Passat. Smith allegedly picked up the car before the owner, Antonio Brown, of Baltimore, could retrieve it.
