Prince George's County Corporal, Two Former Officers Charged With Misconduct, Conspiracy

The Prince George's County State's Attorney's Office charged a current PGPD corporal and two former officers on Friday with misconduct in office and related conspiracy offenses, alleging all three conducted motor vehicle registration inquiries without a legitimate law enforcement purpose, according to court documents.

Corporal Timothy Green, who joined the Prince George's County Police Department in 2015, faces two counts of misconduct in office and one count of conspiracy to commit misconduct in office. Green was suspended in June 2025 and is currently on military leave.

Former officer Gerald Briscoe carries the heaviest charging load of the three: four counts of misconduct in office and one count of conspiracy to commit misconduct in office. Briscoe joined PGPD in 2023, was suspended in March 2025, and left the department in February 2026.

Former officer Sierra Alston, also hired in 2023, faces charges that vary slightly depending on the source. Multiple outlets report one count of misconduct in office and three counts of conspiracy to commit misconduct in office; other reporting describes the charges as three counts of conspiracy to commit misconduct in office and one count of solicitation of misconduct in office. The Prince George's County State's Attorney's Office charging documents would resolve the discrepancy. Alston was first suspended in October 2024 and separated from the agency in December 2025.

While investigators publicly declined to describe the basis for the charges, court documents cited by local media state that the three were accused of conducting motor vehicle registration inquiries without a legitimate law enforcement purpose. Accessing law enforcement databases for non-official purposes constitutes a recognized form of misconduct, though the documents do not yet specify when the alleged queries occurred, how many were conducted, or whether the information was used for any downstream purpose.

The charges arrive against a backdrop of repeated disciplinary scrutiny inside PGPD. In January 2023, the State's Attorney's Office dropped criminal charges against 13 county officers in a separate alleged double-dipping scheme tied to former police lieutenant Edward Scott Finn, who separately faces federal tax evasion charges for allegedly failing to report approximately $1.3 million in income. More recently, Corporal Robert Harvin III was arrested by Laurel police and charged with second-degree assault, and officer Charles Williams Jr. was suspended after being charged in Charles County.

Prince George's County Police Chief Malik Aziz, speaking when charges were announced in a prior related case, acknowledged systemic concerns. "What you have is a failure in the system, and inadequate policies in place, whether they are inadequate or lacking, contributed to the circumstances around this whole incident," Aziz said.

Green, Alston, and Briscoe are presumed innocent unless convicted. No court dates, case numbers, or attorney information had been released publicly as of Friday evening.
