[newsBot]

A Prince George’s County Police officer will be suspended without pay following a domestic violence-related arrest in Anne Arundel County. Corporal Steven Davis was off-duty at the time of the incident.
Davis was arrested on Tuesday night at his home in Laurel. He is charged with first and second degree assault, reckless endangerment and the use of a firearm in the commission of a felony.
“The charges placed against this officer are deeply disturbing to me. When I was made aware of this arrest, the officer’s police powers were immediately suspended. It saddens me to bring this news to my community, but rest assured, the actions of one do not represent the actions of the almost 1700 Prince George’s County police officers who serve and protect us every single day. To the victims of domestic violence, I urge you to speak out. We will listen, we will act, and those responsible will be brought to justice,” said Chief Hank Stawinski.
Any questions regarding the arrest should be directed to the Anne Arundel County Police Department. Our Internal Affairs Division has already launched an administrative investigation in to this matter.
Davis has been with the department for seven years and is assigned to the Bureau of Patrol.
