PHILADELPHIA — Police Commissioner Danielle Outlaw said Tuesday that an officer who had been benched over allegations he used racial slurs during a traffic stop earlier this month will be allowed to return to duty after internal investigators concluded that he did not use such language during the chaotic episode.
Outlaw said that “after an extensive internal and external review” of footage from body-worn cameras, police came to believe “that none of our officers utilized racial epithets as alleged.”
Outlaw said police were continuing to investigate the officers’ actions during the stop, which led to the arrest of 30-year-old Warren Martin-Williams, who has since been charged with illegally carrying a gun and drugs as he sought to drive his car away from the stop in East Germantown on March 22, court documents show.
