Police say Cpl. Rickie Adey was indicted on Thursday. The indictment alleges that on Aug. 4, 2011, Adey was called to Capitol Heights for the sound of gunshots and found a group of people running away.
According to the indictment, Adey confronted a 13-year-old who was trying to climb over a fence. Adey allegedly pulled the teen from the fence and assaulted him. The youth sustained minor injuries.
Police say Adey, a 10-year veteran, has been suspended. A hearing next week will determine whether Adey will be paid during the suspension.
