BALTIMORE — Tuesday's inauguration for incoming Baltimore City State's Attorney Ivan Bates went on as planned.
This despite Bates taking an early morning precautionary visit to the hospital for dehydration symptoms.
A spokesman for Bates confirmed that he was released from the hospital prior to attending his 11:30am swearing-in at the downtown War Memorial building.
Bates takes over as the City's 26th State's Attorney following a primary election win over two-term incumbent Marilyn Mosby.
