Baltimore County Police charged Dazhon Darien, Pikesville High School’s former athletic director, in connection with the incident.

Baltimore County Police arrested Pikesville High School’s former athletic director Thursday morning and charged him with allegedly using artificial intelligence to impersonate Principal Eric Eiswert, leading the public to believe Eiswert made racist and antisemitic comments behind closed doors.

Dazhon Darien was charged with disrupting school activities, after investigators determined they’d faked his voice and circulated the audio on social media in January, according to the Baltimore County State’s Attorney’s Office.** **Darien’s nickname, DJ, was among the names mentioned in the audio clips he allegedly faked.

Eiswert’s voice, which police and AI experts believe was simulated, made disparaging comments toward Black students and the surrounding Jewish community, was widely circulated on social media.

    Ravenell told police that she had forwarded the email to a student’s cell phone, “who she knew would rapidly spread the message around various social media outlets and throughout the school,” and also sent it to the media and the NAACP, police said.

    Time for a civil suit. This one needs greater penalties than loss of employment. Stick within the system so it can be investigated rather than throwing it on social media and ruining innocent lives. What a complete piece of shit. Oh, and she should have to compensate the school district for all the time and taxpayer funds wasted.
