Saleem Omar Baird is/was a staffer for Mississippi Senator Roger Wicker. You may remember Saleem Baird from an incident in 2011 which involved a strip club and the legislative aide being put on leave.
A legislative aide to Sen. Roger Wicker (R-Miss.) will keep his job after charges were dropped following his arrest this summer for allegedly running an illegal strip club, Wicker’s spokesman said Friday.
Saleem Baird, who’s worked in Wicker’s Washington office since February 2009, was placed on leave after he and three women were taken into police custody Sept. 3 at Level 3 nightclub in downtown Jackson, Miss., when vice and narcotics officers discovered the females stripping on stage without proper licenses.
A Jackson police report stated: “A male who identified himself as Saleem Baird advised that he was the manager and in charge. He was also placed under arrest for Violation of City Ordinance.”

Pimpin is hard! Like math hard!
“He doesn’t have any ownership interest in the establishment. He doesn’t manage the establishment in any kind of way. There are currently no charges pending against Mr. Baird,” Cockerham said. “He is, in my opinon, an upstanding gentleman, and he’s moving forward.”
Baird, 30, earns about $50,000 a year as a legislative correspondent for Wicker, according to LegiStorm.
