Fine With Folio
By Van Smith
In return, Folio must refrain from making any disparaging comments about Hamm, Malone, and Kruger.
“These communications would include, but are not limited to, the motive for settling this matter, a party’s alleged
involvement in the circumstances involved in this matter, and/or the character, ability, or reputation of a party,”
the settlement agreement states. City Paper’s previous coverage of the Folio case already contains a heavy dose
of such commentary, though the motives behind the settlement remain shrouded in secrecy.
Folio, in an e-mail, declined to comment about the settlement.

Third article in a series by Van Smith, Baltimore City Paper
Baltimore police officer Jacqueline Folio has settled her lawsuit against
the Baltimore Police Department, police Commissioner Leonard
Hamm, and two former police lawyers, Sean Malone and Karen
Kruger. Folio, who was charged, tried, and acquitted of perjury
charges that arose from a police sting in which she was set up to
commit a false drug arrest (“Cop Out,” April 6), filed suit against the
department in April (“Absent With Cause,” Mobtown Beat, May 11).
She argued that Hamm, Malone, and Kruger had illegally conspired to
remove her from her job.
Under the settlement, which was approved by the city Board of
Estimates on Aug. 3, both sides deny any wrongdoing. Folio, though,
appears to have gotten everything she wanted: a clean, clear, and
amicable retirement, complete with a well-wishing letter from Hamm
and payment of her attorney’s fees. (Clarke Ahlers, who represented
Folio, will be paid $17,500 for his efforts.) Folio’s police file will be
purged of all matters relating to the sting, and she will be covered by
the city for any possible claims brought by the falsely arrested party,
Leon Burgess.
