Another arrest in ACORN break-in

A Southeast Baltimore woman who broke into her former home last week as part of a demonstration against foreclosures surrendered to police and was criminally charged in connection with the incident, police said yesterday. Donna Hanks was being held at Central Booking, a day after the Association of Community Organizations for Reform Now activist who helped her by breaking a padlock on the door was charged with fourth-degree burglary. ACORN organizer Joe Cox said the charges against Hanks, who owed more than $260,000 when a bank foreclosed on the home, were “not unexpected” and that the group will assist her with the criminal case and post bond, if necessary.
