PARMA, Ohio — A Cleveland police officer has found himself on the other side of the law.

FOX 8 I-Team reporter Peggy Sinkovich, has confirmed that Lt. Michael Baker, 46, was arrested early Sunday morning by Parma City police on several charges, including OVI and hit-skip.

On Tuesday, the city placed Baker on suspension. City officials said Baker can use accumulated compensatory time, furlough time and personal holiday time, while on suspension.

Baker was arrested around 12:30 Sunday morning after a person called Parma police saying he heard a large boom. The accident happened in the area of West 9th in Parma but reports don’t give any details of the crash, other then the motor vehicle took off.

Baker was arrested a short time later.

According to a letter he received Tuesday informing him of the suspension, the city stated that Baker “while intoxicated and off duty” was involved in an accident and violated “terms and conditions” of a last-chance agreement he had previously signed.

The letter does not give details of the last-chance agreement, or when it was signed.

Fraternal Order of Police President Capt. Brian Betley said Baker does not want to talk about the charges.

“We have spoken to Lt. Baker about the situation,” Betley said. “He is a very hard worker and a good officer. He will remain on suspension until the court case is completed, and at that time we will then deal with any administrative charges.”

Baker is due in court June 27.
