Michael Baker – Columbia Police Department

Written by CBKN76

Pastor Michael Baker, who served as a chaplain for the Columbia Police Department, was arrested in 2017 on a domestic violence charge after allegedly shoving his wife to the floor and causing her to hit her head. Despite the arrest, Baker denied the allegations, and the charge was reportedly dropped. The incident raised concerns about the department’s handling of complaints against its affiliates.
