According to a release from the Greenbelt Police Department, officials were notified by the Prince George's County Police Department that officer Albert Murray was issued a criminal summons on Feb. 6.
There are not a lot of details available about the charge other than the fact that Murray is accused of violating Maryland prostitution laws. Murray has worked for the Greenbelt Police Department since Jan. 6, 2020.
