<\/p>\nA COP has been suspended after he was allegedly caught on camera kissing a woman and climbing into the back of his patrol car with her.<\/p>\n
A police department in Maryland launched an investigation after the video, which shows the officer in uniform, quickly went viral.<\/p>\n
\n<\/p>\n
The Prince George\u2019s County Police Department first acknowledged the video on Tuesday, writing: "PGPD Executive Command is aware of a video circulating on social media with one of our officers.<\/p>\n
"As soon as we became aware earlier today, we opened an investigation to determine the circumstances. <\/p>\n
"Additional information will be released once investigated and confirmed."<\/p>\n
By Tuesday evening, officer Francesco Marlett had been suspended pending the outcome of the investigation.<\/p>\n
"The officer has been identified," police said in an update. <\/p>\n
"His police powers are now suspended as the investigation continues."<\/p>\n
The video showing an officer kissing a woman and climbing into the backseat of a police car with her surfaced on Monday night.<\/p>\n
The cop, in full uniform, is seen embracing and kissing the woman, then following her into the back of the patrol car.<\/p>\n
<\/span><\/p>\n <\/span><\/p>\n <\/span><\/p>\n <\/span><\/p>\n The steamy situation took place at a park near Oxon Hill High School.<\/p>\n Nelson Ochoa was at the park on Labor Day and began filming as a marked SUV pulled up.<\/p>\n \u201cAs soon as I started recording, a car pulled up and a young lady came out,\u201d Ochoa told local NBC affiliate WRC-TV.<\/p>\n \u201cWe couldn't believe what we were seeing, and what really made us go, 'Wow, this is crazy,' is when the car started rocking a little bit to the left and right. <\/p>\n "That\u2019s when we were, like, this is crazy. In broad daylight with kids around."<\/p>\n Children can be seen running by in the clip, which quickly racked up millions of views.<\/p>\n Ochoa said that Marlett and the woman drove off in opposite directions after about 40 minutes.<\/p>\n \u201cI\u2019m glad I caught it on camera so Prince George\u2019s could see what kind of officers they have working for them supposedly protecting the community," he said.<\/p>\n Marlett was previously suspended in 2016, according to local news outlets.<\/p>\n He was charged with child abuse after he allegedly knocked his ex-girlfriend's three-year-old unconscious, according to Baltimore Fox affiliate WBFF.<\/p>\n Marlett agreed to anger management counseling and the charges were dropped.<\/p>\n The officer was also recently suspended for a month in May 2023 after he was accused of domestic violence, WBFF reported.<\/p>\n He returned to work in June.<\/p>\n![](\"https:\/\/www.thesun.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/tp-composite-holly-vs-phil-new.jpg\")
