A Milton police officer has been placed on paid administrative leave pending an internal investigation into an off-duty incident, which was described by the mother of one of the alleged victims as a racist rant directed at two teenage boys.

Milton police confirmed Friday that the officer had been placed on leave a day earlier, but did not disclose the officer’s name or describe the allegations. The department said another police force is conducting a separate investigation, but didn’t identify the law enforcement agency.
