John Callis, a 24-year-old man from Baltimore, surrendered to police this morning about a violent incident that erupted after a recent Ravens-Commanders game. The assault, captured and widely disseminated on video, shows a man identified by police as Callis attacking two individuals after the sporting event. WBALTV reported that Callis faces charges of first-degree aggravated assault and three counts of second-degree assault.
Assaulting, believed by the authorities to be wearing a Lamar Jackson jersey, the footage depicts a man kicking and punching one of the victims in the face before turning his aggression towards the other fan, the Baltimore Police allege. Before walking from the scene, the aggressor, possibly called Callis, can be seen in the video flexing an arm and shouting, "I don't lose." According to The Baltimore Banner, the incident occurred outside Cross Street Market on South Charles Street and East Cross Street in Federal Hill.
Following the incident, Maury Donnelly & Parr Inc., where Callis was employed for a short stint of about one month, stated after the video showed that he is no longer associated with the company. This follows a prior arrest in 2021 where Baltimore County police alleged he and another individual were involved in assaulting a person at the intersection of York Road and Pennsylvania Avenue in Towson.
He turned himself in at 10:45 a.m., and Callis did so at the Southern District Police Station, a bit earlier than the previously agreed-upon time of noon, per The Baltimore Banner. Thompson articulated that his client is "fully cooperating with the process" in response to Callis's allegations. Callis was afforded probation before judgment for the incident in Towson and a fine of $100, as evidenced by court records.
