Two Prince George’s corrections officers have been placed on paid leave after the scrutiny of their actions surrounding the death of accused police killer Ronnie White in a county jail cell has intensified, county officials said Monday.

Officers Ramon Davis and Anthony McIntosh were placed on leave last week because “with the progression of the investigation, we thought it best for the public, and the Department of Corrections, to make sure those individuals were on non-duty status,” said a senior-level county official who did not want to be identified speaking about an open investigation.
