CLEVELAND OH Oct 15 2010 — Police arrested one of their own without incident Thursday morning at the Justice Center. Internal Affairs Investigators arrested a patrolman for using a police computer program for his personal gain.

He is accused of performing an unauthorized LEADS inquiry from a City of Cleveland Mobile Data Terminal and, subsequently, using the information for personal use on Jan. 17 this year.
The officer is currently assigned to the First District police station and will be suspended from duty without pay, pending the outcome of the case against him.
The officer will also get a pre-disciplinary hearing in front of Cleveland’s Public Safety Director Martin Flask.
