The officer – who has not been named – has been identified by top brass and suspended.
Delivery driver Carlos, 22, of nearby Clinton – whose nephew was playing at the park – said: “When I saw this I was in complete shock.
“It was a normal day at the park and out of nowhere a girl approached the officer and it went from friendly to romantic real fast.”
He claimed: “I was disappointed by the attention because if a regular citizen does something like this, they would be arrested.

“It’s power abuse and he didn’t care to even look up to see if anyone was looking.”
He continued: “I felt very uncomfortable, very uncomfortable explaining to my nephew why she’s getting in the back seat with him if she hasn’t done a crime.
“Everyone was in shock that he didn’t even care to look up or look around to see if anyone was looking.”
