Harvin has been with the department since 2016 and is assigned to the Bureau of Patrol. He has been suspended with pay.
This marks the second time in days that a member of the department has been suspended with pay following an incident with Officer Charles Williams, Jr., who was arrested last week for assaulting a deputy the Charles County Sheriff's Office investigating a separate domestic incident .
