Police arrested a Baltimore County man early morning on Jan 13 who was wanted for the murder of a Worcester County woman whose body was found Thursday evening.
Just after 12:00 a.m., a team of Maryland State Police, Baltimore City Police and Baltimore County Police officers arrested Gregory W. Stokes, 30, whose last known address was the unit-block of Right Elevator Drive, Middle River, Md. Stokes was arrested on a warrant from Worcester County charging him with first degree murder. He is expected to be taken before a District Court commissioner in Baltimore County later this morning for a bond hearing.
An around-the-clock search for Stokes led state and allied police to several locations in Baltimore County on Jan. 12. At about 12:00 a.m. today, police went to a residence in the 6200-block of Alumore Way, in Baltimore, where Stokes was arrested without incident. He was taken to the State Police Golden Ring Barracks for processing.
The investigation into the death of Pamela Balk is being conducted by the Worcester County Bureau of Investigation.
