DAYTON -- A Dayton police
officer is facing three misdemeanor charges, filed June 25 by the Trotwood
Police Department, following an investigation.
Officer Erica S. Cash is
charged with one count of falsification and two counts of obstruction of
official business. Trotwood
investigators say that after a fatal crash on Little Richmond Road last
October, Cash hindered them from finding the main suspect, Jermaine Griffin
"The whole thought of an
officer not stepping up and doing what they're
supposed to do is very
disturbing." Captain John Porter of the Trotwood
Police Department told us.
Cash has been placed on
restricted duty pending the outcome of the criminal case. Cash graduated from
the Dayton Police Academy on July 11, 2008.
