CINCINNATI — A Cincinnati police officer has been suspended without pay after he was indicted on felony charges, the department said Tuesday.

Officer Timothy Lutz faces two counts of unauthorized use of the law enforcement automated data system. Prosecutors said he used data to get a woman's contact information.

Lutz was originally assigned to a non-patrol, administrative assignment. However, Theetge said Lutz has been relieved of his police powers and suspended without pay.

"I take the conduct of our members very seriously and require all CPD members to adhere to the highest standards of our policies, procedures, and local, state, and federal laws," Theetge said. "I would like to stress to our community that the actions of one do not represent the actions of the many hardworking, dedicated members of CPD, those who strive each day to deliver exceptional police services to our residents, business owners and visitors."
