BOWIE, Md. — A police officer in Bowie has been indicted on Thursday on attempted murder charges, the Prince George's County State's Attorney's Office announced.
According to officials, Sgt. Robert Warrington, a 12-year veteran of the City of Bowie Police Department, pulled over to help a driver who appeared to be stranded on Cottington Road on September 12.

Although the man was not hit, a passing vehicle was.
Warrington faces one count of attempted second-degree murder, one count of first-degree assault, two counts of reckless endangerment, and one count of misconduct in office.
