'The actions of this officer do not represent our county police, generally, nor do they show law enforcement at its finest moment.' Maryland police officer faces assault charges after slamming teen's neck into ground during arrest:
A police officer in Maryland is facing criminal charges after being filmed slamming a suspect’s neck into the sidewalk with his knee during an arrest.
The initial internal investigation into the incident has since been put on hold until the conclusion of the criminal case, Korionoff said. "The actions of this officer do not represent our county police, generally, nor do they show law enforcement at its finest moment. It is important to have continued bridges of trust to our community. Charging this officer with two counts is what is appropriate in this case," McCarthy said.
Moris was one of four officers who approached Pesoa in a McDonalds where he was allegedly set to sell the drugs to the undercover officer, according to the charging document. Moris told Pesoa that he was under arrest, and the criminal complaint details how Pesoa allegedly resisted, and was eventually placed in handcuffs.
