Im sorry but does anyone else find this hilariously humerous??!!! Im glad he is off the streets and in the right hands now tho. What a wacko dreamer!! Im sure he manipulated and hurt many he has come in contact with with his lies about it.....but omg why the hek didnt he just legalize his popo fantasy and pursue it for real instead of being an idiot about it??!! Lol and then he wanted to leave his fantasy cop life to be a doctor......hahahahahaha thats awesome. Maybe while he is locked up he will pursue his PhD in counseling lol.

The only thing worst than a real cop is a fake cop.

WOW! I met this so called Matt on POF. I never met him in person. He seemed a little strange. He told me he was getting out of the law enforcement and would start this summer to become a Doctor! I have many pictures of him still in my phone along with all kinds of text messages of him talking about he flew the helicopter for TPD and such. He was always begging to meet me, but I do not just talk a few times and meet anyone from some dating site face to face that easy. I am so glad I am very cautious.

Baker was in a 2007 OSU class where he presented himself as a TPD officer, stolen cars division. He was much heavier then. He was always trying to get other people to do his research and study work, prep for exams for him since he worked such long hours during the night shift as a TPD officer. He consistently tried to exploit his presented status of TPD officer. He also made numerous promises that were later ignored by him. This guy has been impersonating TPD status for years. He told me about discounts and freebies he got as a TPD officer. He tried to be intimidating, using his officer status, to manipulate people to do his work. I hope others who had to deal with him over the years come out and testify against him. This guy is a danger. He had to go by his real name since he was officially enrolled at OSU.
