A St. Petersburg police officer was arrested on a domestic battery charge while on parental leave, officials announced Tuesday.
St. Petersburg Police Department (SPPD) said Officer CW was arrested by the Pinellas County Sheriff’s Office on a misdemeanor domestic battery charge on Feb. 16.
W was sworn in with the department on April 10, 2010.
On Sept 18, 2016, W was arrested on a domestic battery charge, and in Jan. 2018, he was suspended from the department for a month for pushing a security guard at a concert in Tampa, SPPD confirmed to Tampa Bay 28. The charges in the 2016 arrest were dropped, according to court records.
W is on parental leave until March 6 and will be on administrative assignment starting March 7, SPPD said. Police said he will also undergo an internal investigation by the Office of Professional Standards once his court proceedings are complete.
