Per NBC Washington:
A Metropolitan Police Department sergeant was arrested by federal agents on Tuesday night after a traffic stop, authorities say.
The sergeant in the D.C. police department’s Fifth District was charged with assault on an officer, fleeing the scene and weapons charges, an MPD spokesperson told News4.
It wasn’t immediately clear why the officer was stopped or what led to his arrest.
No details have been reported regarding the federal agency that was involved in the sergeant’s arrest.
This isn’t the first arrest of a member of the DC Metropolitan Police Department in the month of September.
WUSA 9 reported officer Trevon King was arrested on September 15 on several charges including assault on law enforcement officers, sexual battery and driving while intoxicated.
King was arrested by MPD after they received a report of a person appearing to be intoxicated crashing into a parked car.
Per WUSA 9:
A DC Police officer is on administrative leave after he was accused of several charges, including assault on law enforcement officers, driving while intoxicated and sexual battery.
The Metropolitan Police Department confirmed Monday night that Officer Trevon King is on administrative leave.
A source tells WUSA that the charges stem from an incident that happened in the 1200 block of Russel Road around 8:15 p.m. Sunday. King allegedly hit a parked car and a pole. After officers took him to an area hospital, the source tells WUSA that King tried to take a responding officer’s gun.
King allegedly assaulted the two officers, including grabbing them inappropriately.
The Alexandria Police Department told WUSA that King has been charged with two counts of assault on a law enforcement officer, sexual battery, attempt to disarm a law enforcement officer, DWI, driving with a suspended license, and obstruction of justice.
