Metro narcotics officer put on leave
Tuesday, Nov. 21, 2000 | 10:57 a.m.
Metro Police officials put a narcotics detective on administrative leave pending the outcome of an investigation into "improper conduct."
"Allegations were made, and we are currently looking into it to see if there are any criminal charges," Lt. Marc Joseph, a department spokesman, said. "There has been not a determination if a criminal act took place."
A citizen filed a complaint to the internal affairs unit last week against Detective Vinten Hartung, 42. Lt. Tom Monahan of the sexual assault unit is investigating the allegation, but officials will not elaborate on the nature of the allegation.
Hartung was put on administrative leave with pay.
