A Robbins police officer indicted on several sex offenses
late last year was arrested yesterday by SBI agents.
Travis Baker, 32, of the 500 block of Sandwoods Farm
Road, Pinehurst, is charged with Second Degree Rape, Second Degree Sexual
Offense, two counts of Sexual Battery, Crimes Against Nature, and Obstruction
of Justice.
Agents took Baker to the Moore County Jail.
The incident that led to those charges is alleged to have
happened Aug. 16, 2011, when Baker was a member of the Robbins Police
Department, according to Noelle Talley, a spokesperson for the State Bureau of
Investigation.
Baker was dismissed from the Robbins Police Department
prior to his December indictment from the grand jury, according to town
officials.
He had worked with the Robbins department as a full-time
officer since July 2011.
