BALTIMORE — A Baltimore Police officer is suspended without pay after being indicted in Baltimore County on drug dealing allegations.
Cejus Watson, 39, was officially charged December 19 with distribution of marijuana following a grand jury indictment.
The 11-year department veteran has since been released on his own recognizance.
According to online court records, the incident in question occurred September 20.
Baltimore Police say their Public Integrity Unit initially provided evidence to Baltimore County investigators which ultimately led to the indictment.
Prior to being charged, the department said Watson had already been stripped of his police powers pending the outcome of an internal investigation.
If convicted, Watson faces up to five-years behind bars.
