It’s Baltimore, gentlemen.

The gods will not save your job as police commissioner.

The commissioner, Darryl De Sousa, 53, a career Baltimore officer, had been in the post for just four months. He resigned after being charged by federal prosecutors in Maryland with willfully failing to file income tax returns for 2013, 2014 and 2015. The charges are misdemeanors, with a maximum sentence of up to one year in prison and a $25,000 fine for each of the three counts.

Commissioner De Sousa was the third commissioner in three years. The previous two were both fired.
