CHILDREN ARRESTED: Latest on Orlando school resource officer suspended

A school resource officer has been suspended after two young children were arrested at an Orlando school. The Orlando Police Department confirmed on Sunday that Officer Dennis Turner was suspended after arresting a six-year-old and eight-year-old in two separate incidents at Emma Nixon Academy Charter School in Orlando. The department launched an internal investigation into Turner's actions. Their initial findings say a policy was not followed by Turner during the arrests. Police said that the arrest of any person under the age of 12 requires the approval of a watch commander, or manager, which was not obtained in the two cases. The six-year-old arrested was handcuffed and put into the back of a patrol car. She was taken to a juvenile detention facility, where she was fingerprinted and had her mug shot taken. She was charged with battery and has a court date next month. Her grandmother told FOX 35 that the young girl has a sleeping disorder and threw a temper tantrum because she was tired. The circumstances behind the arrest of the 8-year-old, which happened the same day, have not been released.
