Prince George's Officer Suspended for Theft Charge

A Prince George's County police officer has been suspended after being charged with theft in Anne Arundel County.

The Prince George's County police department said Saturday the officer was suspended after being charged Friday. The officer was off duty at the time of the alleged theft.

Anne Arundel County police said the officer, Temitope Asaya, 30, and another suspect, Tykina Anderson, 24, were arrested after allegedly stealing an iPad from a customer at the Apple Store in Annapolis.

Video surveillance showed the suspects pick up the iPad from a table where the customer left it. Police were able to track down the suspects and arrested them Friday.

Prince George’s County police say the officer has been employed by the police department for four years.
