WOODLAWN, Md. (AP) - Baltimore County police say they’re conducting a use-of-force investigation after off-duty officers chased down men who allegedly robbed a bar they were in.
The Baltimore Sun reported Friday that the officers were celebrating a police sergeant’s retirement. Two men demanded cash from the carryout register before fleeing.
A police incident report said the suspects ignored the officers who identified themselves and told them to stop.
