CINCINNATI — A Cincinnati firefighter is currently on unpaid leave after being charged with two misdemeanors.

Brandon Freeman is accused of grabbing a woman's neck and slamming her into a wall, according to court documents.

Once Freeman knew there was an ongoing police investigation into the incident, he cleaned up blood from the crime scene, "knowingly obstructing officers from a full investigation," according to court documents.

Mollie Lair, deputy director of communications for The City of Cincinnati, said Freeman will remain on unpaid leave during the investigation.

Freeman is charged with assault and obstructing official business.

On Monday, Freeman plead 'not guilty' and was given an $11,000 bond.
