BROOKLYN, Ohio -- A Cleveland police officer is on restricted duty after he crashed his personal car into a metal guardrail, drove across a field, smashed through a wooden barrier and crashed into a shed while off duty last month, according to a police report.

Brooklyn police suspected that 42-year-old Eric McGreer was driving drunk when he crashed about 10 p.m. Sept. 9, but officers never gave him a field sobriety test or asked him to take a breathalyzer test, a Brooklyn police report shows.

Police towed McGreer's car, and issued him a summons six days later that charged him with reckless operation, a fourth degree misdemeanor. He is scheduled to appear in Brooklyn Mayor's Court Thursday.

McGreer did not return a voicemail seeking comment.

It's unclear how McGreer got from the scene to his home about half a mile away.

Brooklyn Police Sgt. John Knapp referred questions to Chief Scott Mielke, who was out of the office Monday and Tuesday and not immediately available for comment.

McGreer was driving his 2015 Hyundai hatchback west on Woburn Avenue in the Brooklyn Acres neighborhood, a 100-acre development with narrow streets and small, single-story homes. He entered the field at Rockland Drive when he crashed into a metal guardrail, according to an accident report.

McGreer drove more than 100 yards through the field before he crashed through a wooden barrier where West 71st Place dead-ends into the field, the report says. He drove down West 71st Place, crossed West 66th Street and continued onto Gifford Avenue, where he eventually crashed into a metal shed next to a house, according to the report.

Cleveland.com has requested 911 recordings and body-camera footage from Brooklyn police.

The Cleveland police department's internal affairs unit is conducting its own investigation into the incident. A spokeswoman declined to provide further details, citing the open investigation.

McGreer was placed on restricted duty after the crash, police said.

McGreer was hired in 2014. He was part of the same Cleveland Police Academy class as Timothy Loehmann, the officer who shot 12-year-old Tamir Rice that same year. A grand jury did not file criminal charges against Loehmann or his partner, and an internal department review to determine if either officer should be disciplined remains ongoing.

McGreer spent several years as a guard in the Cleveland city jail before he was hired.

Cleveland Police Patrolmen's Association President Steve Loomis said the union is aware of the ticket, but said it is not involved because the crash occurred when McGreer was off-duty and an internal investigation is still ongoing.
