Mobile police officer at center of viral arrest video submits resignation, MPD says

MOBILE, Ala. (WPMI) — Officer Blake Duke has submitted his resignation Friday while under investigation for an off-duty incident, according to Mobile Police.

Duke was placed on paid administrative leave Wednesday. Mobile Police Department did not offer details on why.

In February, Duke was placed on desk duty during an administrative investigation into the actions captured on cellphone video during the arrest of Howard Green, Jr.

Duke was returned to full duty on April 6, 2020, according to the department. That viral video is not related to this resignation, as Duke was on duty during the arrest.
