Anne Arundel County Officer Charged With Assault, Suspended With Pay

BALTIMORE (WJZ) -- An Anne Arundel County police officer accused in an assault case was suspended with pay Friday, authorities said.

Cpl. Trey Keller, an eight-year veteran of the agency, is charged with second-degree assault and fourth-degree sex offense, according to court records.

Keller was placed on administrative leave Friday after the court summons charging him with those offenses was issued, the Anne Arundel County Police Department said.

The charges stem from allegations that arose this week about an "assault and harassment incident" involving a contractual employee, police said.

Details on the circumstances of the allegations were not immediately clear.

Anyone with information related to this case is asked to call the police department's Office of Professional Standards at 410-222-8741.
