SCRANTON, Pa. — Two police officers off the job in Scranton over what the mayor calls a racially charged incident.
Mayor Paige Cognetti revealed Monday night the city fired the two officers involved in a 2018 arrest.
The incident led to a civil lawsuit, and it came to light over the weekend, when the attorneys released a transcript that alleges the officers used multiple racial slurs during an arrest.
In response, the city reported Monday night both officers were let go earlier this year.
So far, Scranton officials have not officially named the officers involved.
