Who enforces the enforcers?

A Bath Township police officer apparently fell asleep behind the wheel of his cruiser early Sunday and crashed into a utility pole in Fairlawn.

Patrolman Michael A. Clar, 39, was treated for injuries at Akron General Medical Center and released, Bath police Lt. Richard W. Munsey said.

The crash, reported at 4:31 a.m., occurred as Clar was westbound on Smith Road near Owasso Avenue in a 2003 Chevrolet Impala patrol cruiser, according to police records.

Lt. Cory Davies, a supervising officer of the Stark/Summit post of the State Highway Patrol, the agency investigating the crash, said Clar told responding officers he fell asleep while driving the cruiser.

Clar was not wearing a seat belt, Davies said.
