CLEVELAND, Ohio – An off-duty Cleveland police officer was arrested Sunday in Parma and charged with driving while intoxicated and leaving the scene of an accident.

Lt. Michael Baker is also charged with rear-ending another vehicle, according to Parma Municipal Court records.

The incident happened just after midnight. A witness called police to report hearing a "large boom" near Broadview Road and Lincoln Avenue. Another caller reported minutes later seeing a car flee the scene of an accident in the area, police records show.

Parma officers soon caught up with the car. Baker was behind the wheel, police said.

The 46-year-old Third District detective refused to take a sobriety test, according to police.

No major injuries were reported.

A Cleveland police spokesman did not immediately have details about internal action against Baker.

Capt. Brian Betley, Fraternal Order of Police president, said the FOP would represent Baker during any internal disciplinary hearings after the case is adjudicated.

Baker is scheduled for arraignment Friday.
