Fraternal Order of Police Lodge 35, the county’s police union, wrote in a statement to Bethesda Beat on Monday afternoon that Rupp’s decision to grant probation before judgment for Moris was “consistent with any other citizen in the state of Maryland.”
“The court granted a PBJ after finding that Officer Moris had no previous criminal history, a favorable work history, and was convicted of a misdemeanor,” the statement read. “Lodge 35 believes Judge Rupp acted with impartiality when he handed down his decision.”
The police union’s statement noted that Moris “accepted the internal discipline proposed by the police chief and will move forward with his career as a law enforcement officer,” but did not give further details.

Montgomery County Police Officer Kevin Moris, who was sentenced to two years of supervised probation after he kneed a handcuffed man in the head, was cleared of the misdemeanor assault that a jury had handed down. Moris had requested a hearing for the court to reconsider his sentence, which took place March 3 before Judge Nelson Rupp of Maryland County’s Circuit Court.
Moris will retain his position as a sworn officer, according to MCPD spokesperson Sgt. Rebecca Innocenti. “At the conclusion of the criminal trial this matter was referred to the Office of Internal Affairs, consistent with Department policy and Maryland State Law. The result of that investigation was commensurate with the Montgomery County disciplinary process. Internal affairs matters are confidential personnel matters under Maryland State law and therefore no further comment will be made on this matter,” she wrote in an email to MCM.
