The trooper who arrested the head of Philadelphia’s LGBT affairs and her husband, an incident captured in a video circulated on social media, “is no longer employed” by Pennsylvania State Police, the agency says. It was unclear whether the trooper, whose name has not been released, was let go or resigned, but the trooper was out effective Friday, Pennsylvania State Police spokesman Lt. Adam Reed told CNN. The agency is not releasing additional information. The trooper had been placed on restricted duty following the March 2 incident and was not on patrol during the investigation of the incident. Celena Morrison, executive director of the City’s Office of LGBT Affairs, recorded a portion of her husband Darius McLean’s arrest on the Vine Street Expressway, her sister told CNN at the time. Morrison can be heard in the video repeatedly saying, “That is my husband,” while McLean is on the ground. She’s then heard saying, “I work for the mayor.”
