CLEVELAND - A photo of a Cleveland police officer pointing a gun at two women is going viral after it was posted on Reddit over the weekend, but the police department said the incident involved people who were wanted criminals. READ: The Cleveland Police report here. Police said at about 4 p. m. on Sunday, a tan Cadillac Catera driven by Moratta Davis was heading onto the East 9th Street Ramp to Route 2 eastbound. With both lanes of traffic at a dead stop, Davis drove onto the left berm of the ramp, sideswiping a 2015 Ford Fiesta, bending the right rear tire of the Fiesta, according to police. The Cadillac continued down the berm and sideswiped a 2011 Ford F-150, breaking the front left axle of the Cadillac, the police report stated. When police pulled up to the Cadillac, officers said two men jumped out of the car and ran. Police said the driver door also began to open and that's when Bartos drew his gun and ordered the driver to remain in the car. The police report states Bartos, "being alone and unaware of the driver's intentions with the motorcycle still running, and only the clutch and rear brake engaged, he drew his weapon and ordered the driver to stay in the car. Police said once Bartos saw Davis' hands in the air, he holstered his gun. Source: www.newsnet5.com
