CLEVELAND, Ohio -- A Cleveland police officer was arrested Friday after he was accused of assaulting a female acquaintance.

David Manns, 33, turned himself into police Friday afternoon after a felonious assault warrant was issued for his arrest, Cleveland police spokeswoman Sgt. Jennifer Ciaccia said in a press release.

The incident occurred about 4:50 a.m. Friday, Ciaccia said. Manns was off-duty at the time.

Police have not said what specifically happened during the incident.

The department's Division of Police Integrity Control Section immediately launched an investigation into the incident, which resulted in the arrest warrant, Ciaccia said.

Manns was immediately suspended without pay, and his city-issued firearm has been confiscated, Ciaccia said. He will remain suspended until the criminal case is resolved.

Manns was hired as a Cleveland police patrol officer in November 2013, Ciaccia said. He was last assigned to the city's Third District.
