The Burlington Police Department in Vermont has released dash cam video which they say clears their officer of sexual abuse charges, reports
WCAX.
Next Shark reports the accused officers are Police Sgt. My Nguyen with Officer Adam Lippa.
Police say three teens were seen passed out in a vehicle left running in a parking lot.
Authorities say they found marijuana and alcohol in the vehicle.
They accuse an 18-year-old girl of grabbing a bong the officers had confiscated from the vehicles and threw it back into the car. That’s when things appeared to get out of hand. The officers attempted to arrest the girl, but she resisted.
She would later accuse the officer of touching her breast.
Police say they released 16 minutes of the 90 minute video to show that their officers did nothing wrong.
You can watch and decide for yourself.
According to police, the girl’s father described his daughter as “in crisis,” according to My Champlain Valley
