Parkville Man Arrested, Charged in ATM Robberies

Police say a 21-year-old Parkville man is responsible for robbing two people while they used a Harford Road ATM.

Police have arrested a man and charged him with a pair of robberies at a Harford Road ATM in January.

Brandon Dillon Raines, 21, was arrested and charged with robbery, two counts of second-degree assault, one count of theft less than $1,000 and one count of theft less than $100 in connection with the robbery of two individuals on Jan. 19, police said. 

The arrest was made at Raines' home in the 8300 block of Harford Road around 6 p.m. on Tuesday, said Detective Cathy Batton, a Baltimore County police spokeswoman.

In January two people were robbed while they used the ATM at the branch in the 8200 block of Harford Road. A man was robbed shortly after noon on Jan. 19. And, later that night, after 10:30, a woman was robbed.

Batton said that an additional set of charges had been filed against Raines, stemming from a search warrant executed at his home on Feb. 29.

Raines was also charged with three counts of possession of paraphernalia, one count of possession of marijuana and one count of drug possession with intent to distribute.

Raines is being held without bail at the Baltimore County Detention Center on the first set of charges. Batton said that Raines is also being held on $25,000 bond on the second set of charges.

"If you’re being held without bail you’re just not going to post bail on the second count usually," Batton said.

And if you people knew him youd know hes the nicest person and would do anything for anybody, you people are just rediculous.

Speaking of "simple minded" and "vocabulary" your use of the word "idiot"

Who are these people voicing their disbelief that Brandon Raines could be a criminal? Did they not read the police raided his apartment, with a search warrant and found drugs and drug paraphernalia with intent to distribute! Some people are in denial but better WAKE UP! Apparently Brandon was leading a double life.

The ones praising Brandon are now the ones that have to find a new dealer.....
The Instigation March 2, 2012 at 11:34 pm
Dear law nOrder, The only reason that you would say the people praising Brandon needed to find a new dealer is if you personally know Brandon in his past years. I am praising him because if you knew what really happened you would know the pictures of the guy who did rob the people was not him clearly... People like you just want to throw others under the bus because obviously you have something to hide.
The Instigation March 3, 2012 at 12:00 am
Dear Parkvillehoney, First of all I want to say i like how CLASSY your name is, second of all I would like to know where you got your information from. I received my information from other POLICE OFFICERS in the Parkville Prescient who have said this Detective has made a grave mistake in identity. Third of all your whole post was just about BASHING and attempting to kick someone while they are down. That is pretty sad to say on my behalf because I personally do know Brandon and for everyone who does think he is guilty should get the chance to talk to his boss since he was working and film from all places robbed and would know it couldn't be him.
Sincerely, The Instigation

Parkville is a nice area to live. I live here and use the ATMs around town. I also have a young daughter. Whether this kid smokes dope is his own business, but robbing people I will not stand for. Most ATMs have cameras. Check the tape. If Brandon committed the robberies, then give him jail. Either way it's 2012 and pot is illegal in MD. Move to CA.

The Instigation is a most proper nic for you. I think you are trying to Instigate an investigation into the Parkville Police Department. WHY would a police officer give you confidential information such as 'this Detective has made a grave mistake in identity' ? WHY.
The Instigation March 3, 2012 at 04:38 pm
Needaname, I am not trying to instigate an investigation towards this Detective, actually you not knowing who i am you do not know where i receive my information from. Therefore you should ask instead of assuming because of my name. I am here the tell the truth about what is happening in this case.
The Instigation March 3, 2012 at 04:42 pm
The ATM camera will show the truth as i have already seen. The police can not use anything other than Brandon himself found in the apartment in case no one knows how a warrant actually works, anything obtained during a search warrant not specified will be thrown out in court. It is called FISHING to make a case.

Hmmmm. 5'4" is about the perfect size to grab cash from someones hand and run with it. Its a good thing we have a legal system that takes evidence both pro and con and determines guilt because the court of public opinion is far too easily swayed by non facts. If he is working a "real" job and not some under the table job then chances are he was able to pass a drug test. This would mean he does not use drugs so why would he have drugs if he does not use them? Another mystery for the courts to ponder. If he did what he is accused of I am glad he is caught. If he didn't I hope none of the other poor innocents in BCDC hurt him before he can be tried and found innocent. A point to ponder. In Mexico you are guilty until proven innocent. That means they can hold you as long as they want before a trial because you are guilty. You have to present evidence to prove your innocence . I think our system is a much better deal.

too bad brandons not a drug dealer, hes a good person nd hes being accused wrongly. innocent until proven guilty, nd their so called "proofs" dnt even make sense.
unfair March 3, 2012 at 09:27 pm
free brandon!
The Instigation March 3, 2012 at 11:54 pm
Well Snake, please clarify what a real job is? http://dictionary.reference.com/browse/job please read this to clarify that Brandon does in fact have a real job. There are many jobs out there that have different duties. Just because working in a pizza/sub shop isn't prestigious does not mean it is not a real job, am i wrong? Are the people that work at McDonalds to serve you your food not working at a real job? Please get back to me ASAP! I would prefer that he work and not live off the state as other people do. Have a great evening.
Truth March 4, 2012 at 12:38 am
May I ask how you knew he was 5’4”? It said nothing in the article about how tall he actually was. In fact what I have read so far on this story the description given was 5’9”. Would you please share where you have gathered your information?
Needaname March 4, 2012 at 01:26 am
The Instigation - you clearly explained 'I received my information from other POLICE OFFICERS in the Parkville Precinct (I corrected your spelling error)...'. I worked for a Federal Law Enforcement Agency and the first words I heard where 'need to know' on my first day of employment. If there are Police Officers in the Parkville Precinct disclosing information relative to an investigation to a ANYONE on the 'outside' they should be reprimanded. .... I think there should be an Instigation of corruption over there myself.
Needaname March 4, 2012 at 01:46 am
I don't know if congratulations are in order, yet. Read what The Instigation has posted.
Needaname March 4, 2012 at 01:57 am
I think it is great the Police Department of Parkville are letting anyone with criminal intentions know how the legal system rolls in Parkville. They will be thrown in Jail by over zealous Detectives and loudmouth over-informed 'Instigators'. I hope if Brandon is innocent of the robbery charges - he will be not be hurt.
ps-I think Parkville is setting a setting an example to all neighboring that they will not tolerate criminal conduct in their neighborhood. I am glad these people are mad.

"get used to a shitty community" I think no to that. It seems your good boy Brandon has previous criminal charges of theft and drug charges in his past. I still say he needs to grow up and put his big boy pants on. Stealing and drugs are against the laws of our community. Sorry your drug dealer got shut down . . . for now. The proof is easy to see in the case searches. My ass is a smart ass thank you very much.
Snake March 5, 2012 at 09:34 pm
I am typing this reaaaal sloooow so the instigation may understand it. As I stated, A real job, not under the table. Under the table pays no taxes, no social security and is not listed on a business payroll. If asked about an under the table employee a business who uses them will deny said employee works for them. They pay in cash only and have no paper trail. A real job is one where the employee is on the books. Payroll taxes are paid. Unemployment taxes are paid and the employee then has protections under the law regarding termination. It has nothing to do with how much the person makes and what they are doing to earn the money. Most real jobs because they must by law carry accident and disability insurance on employees in case of on the job injury for the protection of said employees require said employees to pass drug screening tests before hiring. Usually a requirement by the business insurance. This is the same reason if you are hurt on the job the employers require you to be drug screened within 24hours of the accident. I hope you have found this simple yet informative explanation of employment situations an educational experience. You see I can only assume you did not realize the difference because otherwise I could only assume you were just being argumentative just for the sake of being argumentative. As far as his height. Its online at Maryland Judiciary case search along with his previous theft and drug charges. Fascinating thing this internet . So much info.

“The moment there is suspicion about a person's motives, everything he does becomes tainted” (Mahatma Gandhi). His past record does not reflect who he is today he has grown up since those past mistakes “First they ignore you, then they laugh at you, then they fight you, then you win” (Mahatma Gandhi). No one had a clue of Brandon’s existence and who he was, now the public laughs at an internet news article and are up in arms based upon what they see, in the end the facts come out and Brandon will prevail victorious. “Truth stands, even if there be no public support. It is self-sustained. I look only to the good qualities of men. Not being faultless myself, I won't presume to probe into the faults of others” (Mahatma Gandhi).
Truth March 5, 2012 at 11:51 pm
I feel that it is time to let this battle be fought in the court room. Brandon has a family who has to endure the slander of his name. If this was your father, brother or son or whomever may be close to you would not want to see something so heart breaking. It is one thing if he was pronounced guilty, but he was only arrested on suspicion. I love how the community of Parkville is supportive and wants the best for everyone, but they are still unsure if he is the one. Take a step back and look at what you are saying about someone’s son or brother unknowing if he did it. You who have put blame on Brandon sleep sound at night feeling as if you have proven a point by slandering his name have really done nothing, but cause hurt and anger. Faith is hard to keep so I could understand why you think the way you would when looking at his past record, but people do change believe it or not. This post most likely won’t change anyone’s opinion on him for you do not know him, but he truly is a good person and would never do something so wrong to another person.
CarneyGirl March 6, 2012 at 12:52 am
why did you go and delete your comment above to my original posting? I guess you didn't like my second response? Too smart for you!
Snake March 6, 2012 at 01:19 am
Like I said in my original post, Its a good thing we have a court system that decides and not the court of public opinion. I have not said either way what I believe. I believe I do not know him or anything about the case so to presume guilt or innocents would be silly of me. People can change. Thats why I said IF he did it I am glad he was caught and IF he did not I hope he does not get hurt. I think what you read here is peoples frustration at the increasing levels of crime in the area. Judging from your comments I believe your a friend of his. Realize frustrated people are sick of criminals preying on people. Its not personal to them on the same level it is to you in this case. It is not a personal attack on your friend even though it sounds like it.
Truth March 6, 2012 at 04:01 am
I am also sick of criminals preying on people and feel the same frustration. I feel that people are being blinded by their own frustration and anger and saying very slanderous things about Brandon without being fully informed. It is very frustrating to see people so full of hatred and blaming him because of his past. His past is his past and yes it speaks volumes, but things are never as they seem. It would be very foolish of me to defend someone who has some sort of past history if I did not know for sure what kind of person they are. It is almost impossible to convince people that he is not a “drug dealer” or a “robber” due to their frustration and anger. People need to understand the things they say can follow a person and no matter how hard they try to bring themselves up it pulls them back down. When he is pronounced innocent what happens to him? Everyone will move on to something new while he is left picking up the pieces. It almost does not matter if he is guilty or innocent people will still think the same because they are stuck in their own ways. This is not directed towards any one person, but directed towards all.
CarneyGirl March 10, 2012 at 10:50 pm
so is he still in jail or is he out?
John Smith March 13, 2012 at 06:14 am
This has got to be Bullshit!! I used to work at the place he worked at and knew this kid on a pretty personal level!! I really don't think this kid was out robbing anyone. They do say 5' 9" and he is short as shit too. maybe he is a pothead IDK but seriously think to think that he could rob anyone is kinda a joke he is so small!!!
