CRIME SCENES Police apologize to injured boy
Alvin Williams' summer is pretty much over. The 5-year-old can't run around with his friends. Instead, he sits in a folding chair on the front porch of his grandfather's house off York Road in North Baltimore, his broken right leg wrapped in a cast and propped up on another chair. His leg was broken when a Baltimore police cruiser ran over it last week. This week, a top department officer paid Alvin a visit. Lt. Col. Michael J. Andrew brought chocolate cake, Adam Jones and Matt Wieters bobbleheads, a patch that made the child an honorary police officer and the promise of tickets to an Orioles game.

Ravens Team Report (Yahoo! Sports)

Nose tackle Terrence Cody, a second-round pick, passed his conditioning test Wednesday and was cleared to practice with the team.

Cody said he weighs 350 pounds.

"I'll have to admit that I was surprised this morning when he passed the conditioning test," said coach John Harbaugh, who declined to say if the Ravens put a number on what they want Cody to weigh. "But we have it on tape that will verify the results of the test. Obviously, it shows you that he was in shape. He's a little heavy right now. He's got to lose little weight, but that will happen in training camp. But the fact that he's in shape is important. That shows you that he's done the work."

The hot topic surrounding Cody since the Ravens selected him has been his eating habits.
