BALTIMORE — A police disciplinary board on Friday cleared the highest-ranking Baltimore officer involved in the 2015 arrest of Freddie Gray, a young black man who died from a spinal cord injury he sustained in a police van. The board was chaired by Prince George’s County Police Maj. Melvin Powell and also included two Baltimore police officials. The 10 administrative charges Rice faced during a trial this week focused on how he handled himself as shift commander during Gray’s arrest and transport. And, unfortunately, on that day someone was,” Davey said outside the University of Baltimore, where the police trial board was held. Alicia White, still faces a trial board and possible termination related to Gray’s arrest and van transport.
