Donta Allen talking to WJZ in Baltimore about his ride in a police van with Freddie Gray, the day he was arrested. CBS Baltimore The case surrounding the death of Freddie Gray has taken yet another turn.

Just hours after Baltimore Police submitted findings from its investigation to prosecutors, the second prisoner to be picked up in the police van with Freddie Gray is telling his side of the story.

Donta Allen suggests he was misquoted in a Washington Post report that cited a police document with his statement saying he thought Gray was trying to hurt himself.

WJZ, the local CBS affiliate in Baltimore, interviewed Allen on Thursday. “All I did was go straight to the station, but I heard a little banging like he was banging his head,” said Allen.

The Post report published on Wednesday night cited a police document which reportedly contained a statement from Allen that says he believed Gray "was intentionally trying to injure himself.”



Allen denies that quote, telling WJZ “they trying to make it seem like I told them that, I made it like Freddie Gray did that to himself ... why the [expletive] would he do that to himself?”

Allen says he now fears for his life, telling WJZ that “I had two options today, right? Either come and talk to you and get my credibility straight with you and not get killed by these [expletive] or not tell a true story.”
