A Prince George’s County grand jury today indicted a suspended Prince George’s County Police Officer.

At that time, the City of Hyattsville Police Department began a criminal investigation against Wiggins and our agency suspended his police powers as the investigation continued. Questions about the case should be directed to the City of Hyattsville Police Department.

The Prince George’s County Police Department’s Special Investigation Response Team within the Internal Affairs Division launched an administrative investigation which is ongoing.
