BGE Accused of False Arrests | Annapolis News

Three women are suing BGE after being arrested for protesting the company’s attempt to install external gas regulators on historic homes—claims the utility allegedly misled police about its authority to shut off service, leading to their wrongful detention. The lawsuit argues BGE’s false statements triggered the arrests, and while charges were later dropped and gas service restored, the case highlights a broader conflict over utility-driven infrastructure changes and residents’ rights. Legal experts say private companies can be held liable for instigating wrongful arrests through misinformation. BGE has yet to comment.
