Trotwood Officer Fired Over Pictures Found On MySpace Page

There is new information about a local case that has gained national attention. A Trotwood police officer who is accused of using a Taser gun on a pregnant woman last month has been fired.

Trotwood’s police chief said that Michael Wilmer's termination is not because of the incident involving the pregnant woman, but because of his MySpace page.

Officials said the officer was fired after his MySpace page was discovered while police were investigating the incident with the Taser.

Public Safety Director Mike Etter said they found pictures of evidence that was seized during a drug raid on Wilmer's site.

Etter said there was also a picture of the officer driving a police cruiser more than 100 mph.

Despite the termination, the taser incident is still under investigation. Etter said he hopes to have the investigation complete by the end of the year.

Wilmer has told investigators he did not know the woman was pregnant.
