CLEVELAND, Ohio — A Cleveland police officer accused of urinating on a 12-year-old girl at a school bus stop was ordered jailed on $300,000 bond in his first court appearance Monday.

Officer Solomon Nhiwatiwa, 34, pleaded not guilty to charges of attempted kidnapping, pandering obscenity, disseminating material harmful to juveniles, assault, endangering children, child enticement, interfering with custody and public indecency.

Nhiwatiwa, hired to the force in 2014, was suspended without pay after his arrest.

The off-duty officer drove up to the girl Aug. 16 as she stood waiting for the school bus. He tried to lure the girl into his car by asking if she needed a ride to school, prosecutors said.

The girl refused Nhiwatiwa several times and he drove away only to return to record himself on his cellphone as he urinated on the girl, prosecutors said. He left again.

A neighbor called Euclid police and said a man, later identified as Nhiwatiwa, was acting strange and looking inside people’s cars.

The girl’s mother reported the incident to Euclid police, who pieced together the connection and obtained warrants charging Nhiwatiwa, prosecutors said.

“These actions are impossible to comprehend,” said Prosecutor Michael C. O’Malley. “My office will hold him accountable and ensure that he never holds the position of police officer again.”

He has been charged with attempted kidnapping, criminal child enticement, public indecency, pandering obscenity involving a minor, disseminating matter harmful to juveniles, endangering children, assault and attempted interference of custody, according to court records.

Nhiwatiwa was arrested by the Euclid Police Department Tuesday following an investigation regarding the underage child, authorities said.

Earlier this year, he received a four-day suspension after he failed to care for a radio and batteries assigned to him. In 2018, Nhiwatiwa was suspended twice. In one incident, he was given a six-day suspension for insubordination. In the other incident, he was given an eight-day suspension for unprofessional conduct.

His case is being monitored by CPD’s Internal Affairs unit.

He is scheduled to appear in court on Aug. 26.
