CECIL COUNTY, Md. (WBFF) — The Cecil County Police Accountability Board is investigating an embattled county sheriff’s office employee after he solicited and accepted a four-wheeler for his 7-year-old son’s birthday in January.
According to Maryland law, the county’s code of conduct and the international policing code of ethics, law enforcement officers should not solicit or accept gifts from the public.
The Turnbull Brockmeyer Law Group, a Towson-based law firm that specializes in criminal and personal injury law, posted Thursday screenshots of Lt. Michael Zack’s Facebook page from January in which he asked for a four-wheeler for his 7-year-old son. Zack is the commander of the criminal investigations division within the sheriff’s office.
“If you see this kid today, wish him a happy 7th birthday,” the first post reads. “If you have an extra 4 wheeler lying around, please give it to him.he really wants one.”
