A Prince George’s County Police officer has been suspended after the department launched an investigation into a viral video that showed the officer kissing a woman at a park near a school in Maryland, USA.

The police department identified the officer as Francesco Marlett, who was suspended in 2016 over allegations that he beat a 3-year-old child unconscious, according to Fox 5 DC.
