The Prince George’s County Police Department charged a law enforcement officer on Monday in connection with a sexual offense. He is identified as 43-year-old Brian Tucker of Fort Washington.
He is a Maryland State Police trooper and was off-duty at the time of the offense.
On July 6 at approximately 2:00 am, a Prince George’s County Police officer was on patrol near Rochell Avenue and Hazelwood Drive. The officer saw an SUV parked in a cul-de-sac in a commercial area. When the officer went to investigate, he found Tucker and the victim outside of the SUV, standing on the passenger side.
The investigation reveals Tucker and the victim agreed to participate in a sex act for money. The woman said Tucker forced her at gunpoint to perform additional sex acts beyond what he paid for.
Tucker is charged with first degree sex offense and a handgun charge. The handgun in question is not his duty weapon.
Maryland State Police have suspended Tucker without pay.
