State's Attorney Issues Statement on Conviction of Former BPD Officer Eli Winston

Baltimore, Md. (July 22, 2025) - "Today, former Baltimore Police Officer Eli Winston pleaded guilty to First-Degree Assault, Use of a Firearm in the Commission of a Crime of Violence, and DUI. I commend the victim for their tremendous courage in working with our office to ensure that Mr. Winston was held accountable. The sentence—10 years, with all but five years suspended and three years of supervised probation—sends a clear and unwavering message: those who commit acts of domestic violence, regardless of their position or title, will face serious consequences. I also want to recognize the outstanding work of our Public Trust & Police Integrity Unit, whose dedication and skillful prosecution were instrumental in securing this result." – Ivan J.
