WOODLYNNE - A borough police officer has been suspended pending an investigation into "multiple complaints" over his alleged use of force the Camden County Prosecutor’s Office said Friday night The statement provided no details of the incident But the Camden County Police Department indicated the use of force involved an individual who had been pepper sprayed Thursday afternoon said its officers responded to the Woodlynne scene after a mutual-aid request "Our units arrived after an individual was already pepper sprayed and taken into custody," said the statement which noted Camden County officers "were NOT involved" in any arrests or the use of force "One of our officers stood by with the individual as he was being treated by EMS personnel," the department said in a post on its Facebook page The county police department noted a video of the incident "has surfaced on social media" and the prosecutor's office said it had "received videos" from the public One of several videos provided to the Courier-Post by a Woodlynne resident shows an officer appearing to pepper spray a young man as he sits on a brick stairway leading to the porches of two row homes The scene outside the homes appears calm prior to the spraying although the Camden County police statement indicated its officers were called in connection with "a large fight." A Parker Avenue resident on Saturday said officers were seeking to remove young people who often sat outside her home without her permission they hang out all the time," said Rose Viggiano who's lived on the 200 block of Parker for 42 years "I can't even sit outside my house," said Viggiano noting she had moved her porch furniture inside her home Viggiano said she's previously called police to clear the area outside her home witnesses at the scene cough and cry out in the wake of the incident "That's real f---ed up," a female shouts at the police officer having his face doused with a garden hose as he stands and with his hands restrained behind his back between two officers on the side of a home at Woodlynne and Parker avenues "Let me do it myself," the man says to an officer "I can't take the cuffs off you," the policeman responds repeatedly groans in apparent pain as he stands in a hunched position "I can't see!" he says as police steer him briefly to the rear seat of a Woodlynne police vehicle It could not be determined if the man who was sprayed was charged with any offenses Woodlynne Mayor Joseph Chukwueke did not respond to a request for comment "The officer in question has been suspended without pay by the Woodlynne Police Department pending a review of the matter," the prosecutor's office said which patrols a borough of about 3,000 residents living in less than half a square mile, had referred the matter for investigation by the prosecutor's office The county agency said its Special Prosecutions Office would conduct "a thorough and impartial review of all the evidence collected."
