Prince George's County Police Officer Indicted by Grand Jury

UPPER MARLBORO, MD — A Prince George's County police officer has been suspended without pay after a grand jury indicted him on a charge of a "theft scheme," according to a report from the PG County Police Department.

Corporal Cordell Barbour, a nine-year veteran of the police force who works in patrol, faces charges relating to his conduct between April and June of this year, the report states. He was first suspended back on June 30.

The Internal Affairs Division started investigating Barbour in April after "learning of potential misconduct involving Barbour's secondary employment compensation," the report states.

“The Prince George’s County Police Department brought this case to the State’s Attorney’s Office for consideration of criminal charges following our own internal investigation," the report states. "The department will not tolerate any criminal misconduct. We have an unwavering commitment to maintain the community’s trust.”
