Anne Arundel county executive’s Facebook comments draw concerns, postpone police disciplinary hearing

An administrative hearing board for an Anne Arundel County police detective facing termination was postponed after County Executive Steuart Pittman posted Facebook comments that drew concerns about the officer’s due process. Detective Daniel Reynolds’ three-day hearing board, sometimes called a police trial board, was postponed after Pittman mentioned Reynolds’ alleged misconduct in a Facebook post that also referenced the ongoing criminal trial for Minneapolis police officer Derek Chauvin. Chauvin was charged with murder for George Floyd’s death in his custody.
