Lieutenant Ploor Charges Dropped

Lieutenant Matthew Ploor, a 20-year veteran of Anne Arundel County Police, had charges dropped after a domestic incident involving his girlfriend and her teen daughter. The teen alleged he pushed her into a vanity and punched her, but Ploor claimed he grabbed her arm after she raised a fist — causing her to fall. His attorney argued the officer was de-escalating, not assaulting. The State’s Attorney reviewed evidence and spoke with the teen’s guardian, concluding counseling was better than prosecution for the minor’s well-being. Ploor must now complete a conflict management course and avoid contact with the teen — a course his lawyer insists isn’t an admission of guilt. He remains suspended with pay, and an internal review may still proceed. Support the show:Get a discount at https://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
