CLEVELAND– Ken Kirk, a city cop has been suspended over his
actions with a female inmate. Kirk received a 30-day unpaid suspension; that’s
the maximum Director of Public Safety, Martin Flask, can hand out. Kirk was
found to violate police department policies when he entered a female inmate’s
hospital room back in January.He was accused of having an inappropriate conversation
with the inmate. “That conversation clearly, by his own, was sexual in nature.
It should not have happened; but it did happen and when you engage in that kind
of conduct there are consequences,” Flask said.The woman also said Kirk took
pictures of her. Officials say those pictures were evidentiary in nature.
