(CNN) An Ohio police chief has retired from his post after an apparent racist incident was caught on surveillance, CNN affiliates report. Sheffield Lake Police Chief Anthony Campo has now left the force after more than 30 years on the job following what appears to be a racist prank on a fellow Black officer in the police station, an incident captured on surveillance video. Video obtained by CNN from the City of Sheffield Lake shows Campo arranging a yellow raincoat on a desk with a hood clearly visible; then he places a white piece of paper on the jacket, with the words "Ku Klux Klan" covering the police label on the back of the jacket. A Black officer CNN is not naming enters the room soon after. The video was provided to CNN without sound so it is unclear what words are exchanged.
