A Cleveland Police officer was suspended after posting about an active homicide investigation on Instagram.
The patrol officer, Ta’Lor Payne, was found guilty of a police policy violation and will be suspended for 10 days.
Officials said the officer had previously received a 20-day suspension on Jan. 29, 2021; the reason for that suspension was not specified.
Officials say posting on social media regarding open homicide investigations may cause the public to believe the investigation will be handled in a “less than professional” manner.
