Corrections Officer Faces Rape, Abduction Charges

Officer was on paid leave due to jail incident

UPPER MARLBORO, Md. -- Authorities charged a Prince George's County Department of Corrections officer with burglary, rape, abduction and other offenses.

Cpl. John Hanna of Glen Burnie was arrested Sunday in Prince William County, Va. He is being held without bond in Manassas.

Hanna had been on administrative leave with pay from the county corrections department since Jan. 15, Prince George's County officials said. His leave was due to a jail incident that is still being investigated.

Now, Hanna is suspended without pay because of the criminal charges, authorities said. No further details about those charges were released.
