WASHINGTON — A 21-year veteran of the Anne Arundel County police force was suspended without pay on Monday after being arrested on suspicion of drunken driving Saturday night in Crofton, Maryland.
Sgt. Kenneth Collier, a member of the Bureau of Patrol, was off-duty when he rear-ended another vehicle in his own vehicle on Riedel Road near Johns Hopkins Road, authorities said.
