Mother of student also arrested after 4 stabbed, beaten last weekend
Five football players at Baltimore's Paul Laurence Dunbar High School and the mother of one student were arrested in the stabbings and beatings of a 14-year-old boy and three of his friends last weekend, Baltimore County police said Friday.
Authorities were seeking two others in the Saturday night incident, which police believe was retaliation for an alleged attack a week earlier against the younger brother of one of the accused. The at-large suspects are not on Dunbar High's football team, police said.
According to police, the group of teenagers approached Malaki Malloy, 14, and his friends about 11 p.m. Saturday in the 3900 block of Twin Circle Way and began to stab and beat Malloy before turning on the others. The attackers fled when officers arrived, police said. Malloy and three others were treated for their wounds at area hospitals.
Police identified the teen suspects from Baltimore as Andre M. Cudanin, 16, of the 1300 block of Tompkins Ave.; Leo David Eades, 17, of 1700 block of N. Pulaski St.; Marvin Christopher King, 16, of the 800 block of E. 34th St.; Malcolm Aaron Scott, 15, of the 3100 block of Dudley Ave.; and James Calvin McBride, 16, of the 3900 block of Chesterfield Ave. Police said they were charged as adults with attempted first-degree murder and first- and second-degree assault.
The charges could be changed pending a review by the county state's attorney's office.
"Some of the witnesses recognized some of the attackers as going to Dunbar High School," Baltimore County police spokesman Bill Toohey said. "Some of them apparently were wearing Dunbar colors. That led Baltimore County detectives to Dunbar, where they were able to identify some of the attackers."
Cudanin's mother -- Kimberley Lyn Cudanin, 34, of the 3900 block of Annapolis Road in Baltimore County -- also faces assault charges. Police said they believe she drove some of the suspects to the scene of the attack, and that she and her son targeted Malloy after he allegedly assaulted another 14-year-old, the younger brother of Andre Cudanin and also Kimberley Cudanin's son.
"She organized this group to attack Malloy," Toohey said.
Andre Cudanin was arrested Monday in the 1400 block of Orleans St., the same block as Dunbar High. His mother was arrested the same day when she arrived at the county police Wilkens precinct. The other teen suspects were arrested Wednesday in or near Dunbar High, police said.
With the exception of Andre Cudanin, the teen suspects have since been released from Baltimore County Detention Center, according to police. Kimberly Cudanin has also been released, police said.
It is unclear whether the students were suspended from school. Police said they do not believe the attacks were gang related.
Kimberley Cudanin, a former state employee, was convicted in 2003 on charges that she stole $24,595 while working for the Maryland Institute for Emergency Services Systems. The attorney general's office said Cudanin was employed to organize advanced trauma life support classes and swiped checks from physicians taking the courses.
She was sentenced to five years in prison, with all but four months suspended, and five years of supervised probation. She was also ordered to pay back the full amount that was stolen.
According to electronic court records, her Baltimore home was foreclosed on earlier this year, and in May she was charged in Baltimore County with a theft scheme of more than $500. A trial date in that case was set in District Court for Nov. 18.
Dunbar football coach Lawrence Smith had no comment on the arrests. The team is 1-1 and ranked No. 12 in The Baltimore Sun's Top 15 football poll, dropping from No. 5 after losing to then-unranked Patterson, 37-20, Saturday night. Dunbar has won three straight Class 1A state championships.
Edwin Johnson, president of Dunbar Alumni Association, said he knows Andre Cudanin, King and Eades, and that he's "taken aback" by the allegations. Cudanin and King are starting linebackers, and Eades is a starting defensive back, according to Johnson.
"I can't believe any of those kids would be doing that," Johnson said. "That's so far out of their character. They aren't all 'I'm this and I'm that.' They are very meek, mild-mannered guys. ... I was doing the after-school class for the football team last year and they would always come to the class."
