A Coral Gables Police officer is no longer on the job after he was charged with perjury in New York, 7News sources said.
The police department on Friday confirmed that Edwin Pagan was indicted by a grand jury in the Southern District of New York.
The perjury charge could be a result of Pagan being accused of intentionally lying or signing a false document while under oath.
Coral Gables Police released the following statement:
