DEVELOPING: Maryland Police Officer Suspended After Viral Video Shows Him Enter Police Cruiser With Woman (VIDEO)
Controversy has ensued over a viral video that appears to show a uniformed Prince George’s County, Maryland, police officer opening the door for a female and getting into the backseat with her.
The officer appears to embrace the girl in some fashion before following her into his police cruiser. The officer has reportedly been suspended pending an ongoing internal investigation.
Authorities “don’t know what circumstances were,” according to Prince George’s County State’s Attorney Aisha Braveboy. “But that’s why the internal affairs is looking into it, and they’ll make a decision,” Braveboy added while noting that video taken by bystanders can be “somewhat one-dimensional,” and there is currently “no reason to believe” a crime was committed.
Prince George’s Police Department acknowledged the incident early on Tuesday morning,
