Ravens fan caught in unprovoked attack on Commanders supporters set for lenient sentence after plea deal

The Baltimore Ravens fan who was recorded attacking Washington Commanders supporters in October has pleaded guilty to three counts of second-degree. And in doing so, he appears to have evaded a lengthy prison sentence. Jack Callis, a 24-year-old from Sarasota, Florida, was sentenced to 10 years with all suspended but the 105 days he's already served in jail. Furthermore, he faces five years of probation on top 100 hours of community service. He's also been ordered to pay $4,660 in restitution and complete both inpatient and outpatient treatment programs for substance abuse, according to The Baltimore Banner.

By meeting those conditions, Callis can reduce five years of probation to just three. 'You've embarrassed us,' Baltimore Circuit Judge Charles H. Dorsey III said Monday. 'We love the Ravens.'. Video of the unprovoked attack went viral in October, showing Callis celebrating Baltimore's win over their beltway rivals by running up to two unidentified men in Commanders replica jerseys. He punched one to the ground before throwing the other against a brick wall.

Jack Callis turned himself in to Baltimore PD in October (left) nearly three years after he was last arrested in Florida, where he was charged with resisting an officer (right). This Baltimore Ravens fan was seen fighting two Washington Commanders fans on Sunday. An arrest warrant was promptly issued for Callis. He was initially charged with first-degree aggravated assault and three counts of second-degree assault.

The video ends with Callis flexing for the camera in a Lamar Jackson replica jersey and telling the camera: 'I don't lose.'. He has since lost his job. Callis, an insurance salesman from the Beltway area, was dismissed by the firm of Maury, Donnelly & Parr after footage of the incident went viral on Monday. 'MDP has a zero-tolerance policy for violence and aggressive behavior,' a company spokeswoman told DailyMail.com in an email. 'As a result of the conduct displayed in the video, the individual has been terminated.'.

Police say the video was recorded night along the 1000 block of South Charles Street, which is about a 10-minute walk from Baltimore's M&T Bank Stadium. Baltimore City State's Attorney Ivan Bates has since issued a reaction to the outcome of the case. 'Today, defendant John Callis has pled guilty to three counts of second-degree assault after having spent 105 days in jail, ensuring that justice has been served for the victims and reaffirming our commitment to holding all offenders accountable,' Bates said, using Callis' given first name.

'The behavior we saw in the video evidence in this case was abhorrent. There is never a scenario in which violence is acceptable in our city. Today's outcome clearly conveys that my office will not tolerate hate-filled acts. 'The victims in this case have shown tremendous courage, and we hope this resolution provides them with a sense of justice and closure. Our office remains steadfast in our mission to protect victim's rights and ensure our residents' safety. We will continue to work tirelessly to uphold the law and seek justice for all.'.
