Authorities say a Florida police officer has been suspended and is being investigated after arresting two 6-year-olds for separate incidents at their schools. CBS Orlando affiliate WKMG-TV reports that Officer Dennis Turner was suspended pending the outcome of an internal investigation by the Orlando Police Department. The arrests were on unrelated misdemeanor charges, authorities said. Police clarified Monday that both of the children were 6 after initially describing one of them as 8 years old.
The department's policy requires an officer to get the approval of a watch commander before arresting anyone under age 12. WKMG says that didn't happen during last Thursday's arrests.
