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.
