Baltimore police can’t confirm Carson’s story of holdup

Based on available information, Baltimore police it can’t verify Republican presidential contender Ben Carson’s account that he was held at gunpoint at a fast-food restaurant in the city, the department said Tuesday.

Carson, a retired Johns Hopkins Hospital pediatric neurosurgeon, told Sirius XM Radio last Wednesday he was in a Popeyes restaurant while working as a doctor in Baltimore when a man came in and put a gun in his ribs.
