‘I Got a Monster’ Documentary Featuring Corrupt Members of Baltimore’s Gun Trace Task Force
Greenwich Entertainment’s latest documentary, “I Got a Monster,” unveils a gripping tale of police corruption that shook the nation. The film highlights one of the biggest scandals involving the Gun Trace Task Force.
According to People, the documentary focuses on Sgt. Wayne Earl Jenkins, the leader of the Gun Trace Task Force, operated without constraints. Despite his commendations for significant drug seizures and removing firearms from the streets, Jenkins had secretly equipped his Gun Trace Task Force officers for their profitable drug-dealing activities.
The film delves into the deep-rooted system that allowed Jenkins to continue his illicit activities unchecked for an extended period.
“One of the reasons they’re so corrupt is they all had their sort of fences that they were handing drugs off to. They were also breaking into people’s houses, stealing as much as $100,000 at a time, and claiming tons of false overtime,” said Baynard Wood, a former reporter for the Baltimore City Paper, according to Patch.

Baltimore to Pay $6 Million Settlement Involving Gun Trace Task Force.
In a recent development, Baltimore authorities have agreed to pay a substantial settlement of $6 million to the family of a driver who lost their life during a police pursuit in 2010 involving officers from the notorious Gun Trace Task Force. This payout marks the latest in a series of compensations, totaling a staggering $22.2 million, resulting from the egregious misconduct of this renegade Gun Trace Task Force.
AP News reported that in a shocking turn of events, the Gun Trace Task Force, established initially to combat the illicit gun trade, has been embroiled in a disturbing scandal. Instead of fulfilling their duty, these Gun Trace Task Force members resorted to reprehensible actions, including robbing drug dealers, framing innocent individuals by planting drugs and weapons, and even assaulting innocent civilians.
Since 2017, more than a dozen Gun Trace Task Force officers have been convicted in connection with these activities. Furthermore, the aftermath of this scandal has had far-reaching consequences, as numerous cases that relied on the testimony of these officers were subsequently dismissed, leaving a trail of disrupted justice.
