Rochester, New York, officials on Friday released the names of four white police officers who have been suspended or put on administrative leave in the wake of the pepper-spraying of a 9-year-old Black girl.

The Democrat & Chronicle reported that all of the named officers had been part of the Rochester Police Department for less than six years.

Officer Alexander Lombard, on the force for 2 1/2 years, has been suspended. The Democrat & Chronicle said he was the officer who sprayed a chemical irritant in the face of the upset girl as she was handcuffed in the back of a police car.

On administrative leave are Officer Chad Brady, on the force for 5 1/2 years; Officer Adam Bradstreet, serving for 4 1/2 years, and Officer Hannah Schneeberger, in the department for 3 1/2 years. An internal investigation is pending.

The city released the latest footage from the January incident on Thursday. The girl�s mother, Elba Pope, said she called police during an argument with her spouse, but asked officers to call mental health services when it became clear her fourth-grade daughter was headed for a meltdown.

Video shows officers restraining and scolding the screaming girl, telling her they are losing patience as they struggled in the snow to put her in the back of a police cruiser.

It was unclear why the city released the officers� names. A call seeking comment was made to the city, as well as to the police union.
