Authorities are looking for a LaFollette Police
officer who is accused of having inappropriate contact with an underage girl
from Georgia.
A Campbell County grand jury returned a 44 count
indictment against Michael Baker, 39, on July 11.
According to a press release from the LaFollette
Police Department, the Georgia Bureau of Investigation contacted them several
months ago about the allegations against Baker. LPD notified the Knoxville
Police Department's Internet Crimes Against Children Division to assist in the
investigation.
Baker is believed to be living in the New Tazewell
area of Claiborne County, but so far, authorities have not been able to locate
him to arrest him.
If you have any information about Baker's location,
please call the LaFollette Police Department at 423-562-8331 or the TBI at
1-800-744-4000.
