Prince George’s officer suspended after DUI

UPPER MARLBORO, Md. (AP) — A Prince George’s County police officer has been suspended after being cited for drunken driving in North Carolina.

The department says Cpl. Arvester Horner was suspended with pay pending an administrative hearing and currently has no police powers.

Horner was off duty when the Raleigh-Durham Airport Authority Police Department charged him with DUI on Sunday. Police say he did not have his duty weapon and was not driving a department vehicle at the time.

No other details of the charge against Horner were immediately available.

Horner is in Prince George’s County patrol bureau and has been with the department for 14 years.
