CONNEAUT, Ohio -- A veteran police officer accused of referring to a 12-year-old girl using a racial slur is off the force.
Conneaut patrolman Henry Hayes allegedly used a six-letter racial epithet in January while answering a complaint involving the biracial girl and her friends, NewsChannel5 reported.
Sharon Brooks said Hayes, who has been on the force since 1988, allegedly made the remark to Brooks' daughter.
Brooks said that four other children have corroborated with her daughter's story.
Hayes' personnel file includes several other complaints about his public demeanor.
