PGPD

LANDOVER, Md. – A grand jury today indicted a suspended Prince George’s County Police Officer. Sergeant Shaun Urbina was indicted on a misdemeanor charge of misconduct in office.

The charge stems from a July 2020 fatal crash in Clinton in which two people, a mother and her adult son, were killed. PGPD officers pursued their SUV prior to it crashing. Sergeant Urbina was the ranking officer in the pursuit. Following the crash, a total of five officers, including Urbina, were placed on suspension. The four other officers have returned to full duty.

The Internal Affairs Division’s investigation into Sergeant Urbina’s actions is ongoing.

Urbina was assigned to the Bureau of Patrol at the time of his suspension in 2020. He joined the agency in 2005.

  1. No doubt that since he is charged with an offense, he is surely an Officer of Color. That’s the only time charges come into play.

  2. Negative comments are what makes people dislike or hate law enforcement officers. I am sure race had nothing to do with this as Mr. Scott says. I believe he is just trying to “stir the pot of hatred” again.

  3. Gotta wonder why the article makes no mention of the reasons for the chase. Why were they running? Why did it take nearly 2 years for the State’s Attorney’s Office to place these charges. Something just doesn’t sound right here.
