Suspended Baltimore Police officer Robert A. Parks is no longer an active volunteer with the Jarrettsville Volunteer Fire Company in Harford County, company President John Cooney confirmed to FOX45 on Saturday.

Parks, who has been on the force since 2020, was suspended and placed on administrative duty by the Baltimore Police Department on Wednesday after a viral video showed him attempting to run over a man with his police cruiser.

The incident happened Tuesday evening on Wylie Avenue near Park Heights Avenue.

“[Parks’] membership status was changed to inactive as of Oct. 1,” Cooney said in an email.
