The video recorded at an Oxon Hill parks shows the uniformed officer being affectionate with a woman and getting in the back seat of his cop car with her.
OXON HILL, Md. — An investigation is underway after a video was found showing a Prince George's County Police officer being affectionate with a woman at an Oxon Hill Park.
The person who recorded the video Monday told WUSA9 that the interaction happened around 7 p.m. at the Southlawn Neighborhood Park. He says he decided to post the video on social media because any other person was caught being intimate in a public park with kids around, there would be consequences.
The video has been seen millions of times and shows a uniformed officer with his arms wrapped around a woman's waist. At some point during their interaction, it appears as if he kisses her on the head. The woman proceeds to walk towards the Prince George's County SUV parked right next to them. The officer has his arm around her shoulders and she tries to open the locked door of the car. The officer unlocks the back door, she gets in the cruiser and he follows closing the door behind him.
In the video posted on multiple social media platforms, children can be seen running in the park, and according to neighbors there were several families with kids when the incident took place.
This now viral video has prompted others to share a similar situation at another Prince George's County Park. A woman exits a silver car that seems to be similar to the vehicle seen in the first video, and she proceeds to get into the back of the Prince George's County Police SUV 6077.
