Jack Callis, accused in a viral Ravens fan attack, turns himself in

A man accused of attacking two men after the Ravens-Commanders game in Baltimore in an attack captured in a viral video turned himself in to authorities Monday.

Jack Callis, 24, faces one charge of first-degree assault and three charges of second-degree assault.

“We believe there may be more to this story,” said Brian Thompson, one of Callis’ attorneys, who added that the defense has requested surveillance videos from 10 businesses on South Charles Street.

Callis, he said, turned himself in to Baltimore police at the Southern District police station at 10:45 a.m. He had previously agreed to surrender at noon.

Thompson said his client is “fully cooperating with the process.”

The short video shows a man wearing a Lamar Jackson jersey, who police say is Callis. He approaches two 23-year-old men wearing Commanders jerseys outside Cross Street Market at South Charles Street and East Cross Street in Federal Hill.

At that moment, Callis kicks and punches one of the fans in the face. Callis then swings at the other fan and throws him into a wall.

Then Callis walks away, turns around and shouts, “I’m not losing,” as he flexes one of his arms.

Maury Donnelly & Parr Inc., Callis’ former employer, said after the video was posted online that he no longer worked for the company. He worked there for about a month.

In 2021, Baltimore County police arrested Callis, claiming they witnessed him and another man beating someone lying at the intersection of York Road and Pennsylvania Avenue in Towson.

He was placed on probation before sentencing and fined $100, according to court records.
