The investigation continues into the incident that occurred last night (October 12, 2015) in the area of Old York Road. The incident led to an arrest of a man for disorderly conduct. During the arrest, the officer appears to have spit on the suspect while he was in handcuffs.
This is now a criminal and internal investigation. Based on additional video and witness interviews, the decision has been made to suspend the officer’s police powers.
"Our internal investigation progressed rapidly today with the review of available video and interaction with witnesses. The video appears to depict the police sergeant spitting on the arrestee. That is outrageously unacceptable and it directly contradicts the necessary community relationships we are striving to rehabilitate. The police powers of Sergeant Robert Mesner are now suspended, and a criminal investigation is underway. Our entire community deserves to be treated with dignity and respect." Said Interim Police Commissioner Kevin Davis.
Sergeant Mesner is a 34-year- veteran of the Baltimore Police Department.

Cops do it all the time. Get in faces screaming and spitting like a drill sgt. Always tough guys once the perp is cuffed.
Time to retire, brother. The job is getting to you. Don't forget to take advantage of the services to help you leave being an angry cop behind.
Got's to go kind of situation
He deserves it after what that POS did.
Feel froggy leap. Anytime you want.
Guess what the criminal did? He should be shot on sight.
Really? What happened to innocent until proven guilty. Your the guy that goes to jury duty and already convicted the person before the trial started.
