Office Francesco Marlett is in hot water after he footage of Marlett smooching on a girl, then stepping into the back seat of his patrol crossover along with her where he spent around 40 minutes, was posted to TikTok Tuesday. In a press release, the Prince George County Police Department said:
PGP Executive Command is aware of a video circulating on social media with considered one of our officers. As soon as we became aware earlier today, we opened an investigation to find out the circumstances. Additional information shall be released once investigated and confirmed.
Here’s the video that was originally posted on TikTok, but has now made it to Twitter as all the perfect TikTok videos do:
Witnesses say the incident took place in a public park where families with young children were hanging out. The Baltimore Banner spoke to the person who filmed the video:
Nelson O, who declined to offer his last name because he feared retaliation, said he filmed the video of the encounter that was shared on a relative’s TikTok account. He was in Oxon Hill’s Carson Park together with his child and family to play soccer Sunday night when he saw the officer walking around looking “suspicious,” he said. Nelson O said he began filming when a young woman, apparently in her 20s, pulled up because, he said, “something didn’t seem right.”
The 2 remained within the vehicle for about 40 minutes before exiting the back of the police cruiser and quickly leaving the park of their respective vehicles, said Nelson O.
“It was concerning because there’s kids around,” he said. “It just seemed off because that is the person who you’re purported to call for suspicious activity doing the suspicious activity, you recognize.”
The amorous officer had previously been suspended after an indictment for child abuse and assault. As the Banner reports, making expert use of police spokesperson voice:
Marlett spanked his girlfriend’s 3-year-old son. The boy hit his head against a wall and lost consciousness. When the boy’s mother got here into the room, she found Marlett performing CPR on the unconscious toddler.
Did Marlett knock the child unconscious? All we all know is that he spanked the boy, after which he hit his head hard enough to lose consciousness. Might have been a coincidence.
But regardless, officer Marlett is back on the force serving and protecting the nice people of Prince George County, and in addition smooching on the lady within the video and “kinetically ascertaining her immediate posterior region.”
