LAUREL, Md. (AP) - A Maryland police sergeant facing charges of assault and office misconduct after being accused of striking a dirt biker with his cruiser has been acquitted.
Local media outlets report a Prince George’s County Circuit Court judge found Sgt. Jason Sarver not guilty Tuesday of the charges he faced stemming from a pursuit last year.
According to WTOP-FM , the judge said he didn’t think prosecutors proved Sarver intentionally hit the rider, based on body camera and cruiser footage.
