A former East Cleveland police officer, already accused of robbing drivers during traffic stops, is facing new weapons charges.
Agents with the Ohio Investigative Unit said they found 35-year-old Alfonzo Cole with a Glock handgun outside a Collinwood gas station in May.
Because Cole is under indictment for felony charges, prosecutors say he's not allowed to carry a gun. Cole pleaded not guilty Thursday to having weapons under disability and carrying a concealed weapon. Both are felony charges. Cole was fired by East Cleveland after police said he and another officer, Willie Warner-Sims stole drugs, cash and guns during traffic stops in 2020 and 2021.
