Attorney General Anthony G. Brown announced the sentencing of Omubo Micah, 55, of Perry Hall, Maryland, relating to the assault of a resident at a Creative Options, Inc., a housing facility for people with intellectual and developmental disabilities, located in Baltimore, Maryland. On December 16, 2024, a jury found Micah guilty of assault in the second degree before the Honorable Yolanda Tanner of the Circuit Court for Baltimore City. Judge Tanner sentenced Micah to five years suspended in favor of four years of supervised probation. During his probationary period, Judge Tanner ordered that Micah complete an anger management program and be prohibited from providing direct care to vulnerable adults and from working for any healthcare provider who receives state or federal funds. In April of 2024, a neighbor reviewed footage from a security camera mounted on the side of her home. The video depicted an intellectually disabled man emerging from the side door of the neighboring residence and tossing a small object, later found to be a chicken bone, over the fence into the neighbor’s yard. As he tosses the object, Micah, the victim’s caregiver, comes up from behind and grabs him by the shirt and throws him inside. The footage depicted Micah hitting the victim in the head and throwing punches at the victim as he backs out of the camera’s view.
