Times Record Staff A patrol officer with the
Van Buren Police Department was put on unpaid suspension after he made contact
with a 16-year-old girl on Facebook. Cpl. John Cao returns to work today after
an internal investigation determined he violated a departmental policy but made
no criminal violations, Van Buren Police’s public information officer detective
Jonathan Wear confirmed Monday. Parents of the teenage girl, who was stopped
for speeding and not given a ticket, filed a complaint with the Police
Department after it was learned that Cao contacted her on the social media
site. –
