In 2021, Baltimore County agreed to pay $6.5 million to settle a federal lawsuit filed by the family of Eric Sopp, a 48-year-old unarmed man fatally shot multiple times in his car on Interstate 83 by Officer Gregory Page. Sopp’s mother had called 911 to report her son may be suicidal. The lawsuit alleged a pattern of mishandling calls involving individuals experiencing mental health crises and claimed the department failed to properly train officers in crisis intervention.
