BLOOMSBURG, COLUMBIA COUNTY -- In an I-Team exclusive, Scranton police officials say they're conducting an internal investigation into the actions of an off duty police officer.
It all has to do with an incident in Bloomsburg that was caught on cell phone video. The I-Team first showed you this video last week. It shows Bloomsburg police tying to control a fight on East Street in the early morning hours of November 14.
Several people are on the ground while others are pushing and shoving. The I-Team is told one of the people on the ground was a Scranton police officer. She was not charged in the incident.
Scranton Police Chief Dan Duffy tells us he's called for an internal investigation. He was told the officer was trying to break-up the fight and help Bloomsburg police.
The officer's name is not being released at this point saying it is a personnel matter and not criminal.
