A Savannah police detective has been charged with child abuse after allegedly using an unknown object to puncture a 2-year-old child.
According to the Georgia Bureau of Investigation, Vincent Miller, 32, was at a neighbor’s house when he was caught on camera in the alleged act.
Miller is a detective with the Savannah Police Department’s special victims unit, which investigates crimes of sex and abuse. The bureau said it was requested to assist in the investigation over the weekend.
Miller, a seven-year veteran of the department, has been charged with one count of first-degree cruelty to children. Online records show he remains jailed Monday without bail, according to the Associated Press, and he has been placed on leave.
The Georgia Bureau of Investigation is conducting a criminal inquiry, with the Chatham County district attorney deciding later whether to prosecute. The police department’s internal affairs unit is also investigating.
