Cirello had been on the job since 2002 and was non fatally shot by a suspect while responding to a robbery call in Patterson Park back in 2006.

The second officer arrested this weekend is Officer Joseph Bannerman. Baltimore City Police say he was picked up in the Southwest district on a domestic violence charge after allegedly choking and punching his girlfriend.

We have high expectations of accountability and have a zero tolerance for any behavior which undermines the integrity of this agency or the position of police officer."
