Kansas City, Mo. ? Two Kansas City police officers were suspended with pay Thursday as an investigation continued into their actions last year when they stopped a pregnant woman who later miscarried.

The suspension of officers Melody Spencer and Kevin Schnell is indefinite.

The Feb. 5, 2006, incident in which Spencer and Schnell stopped Sudanese native Sofia Salva for a fake temporary car tag was captured on videotape. Police released the tape Tuesday, days after Salva filed a wrongful death and personal injuries lawsuit against the department and the two officers.

In her suit, Salva, 32, claims the officers ignored her repeated pleas for medical attention. In the video of the stop, Salva tells police she is three months pregnant, bleeding and needing to go to the hospital.

Salva says jailers allowed her medical attention the morning after the stop and that she delivered a premature baby boy who died a minute after birth.

Salva’s attorney, Andrew Protzman, could not be reached for comment Thursday.
