Acting Springfield Police Commissioner Cheryl Clapprood is moving to fire an officer who has been on unpaid leave for over a year.
Daniel Cintron was put on leave after being charged with robbery, assault and battery and child rape.
Clapprood said in a statement that all suspects are presumed innocent until proven guilty, but that the charges against Cintron are so bad that she doesn't believe he could ever serve the public as a police officer in the future.
Cintron has pleaded not guilty to all charges against him.
