The woman pictured above - who I won't name has been in the news this past week. Her husband has headed the domestic violence investigations of his police department.
I'm not going to name him either.
I'm not going to say even what state they are in because their lives are both already in chaos and my goal is not to make their lives any harder - or more dangerous.
The officer was arrested last week on charges of assault with a dangerous weapon, domestic assault and battery, armed assault with intent to murder and discharging a firearm within 500 feet of a building. His neighbors said that maybe there was some kind of MISTAKE because the couple are such "wonderful neighbors." He's head of the D.A.R.E program teaching about drug and alcohol abuse, but didn't take his own lessons very well.
Intoxicated (and we don't know how often that is) he is said to have gotten mad, broke three phones in the house - probably to keep anyone for calling for help, slapped his wife while she was holding their toddler, and started yelling at her that she would be sorry.
"He then shot his service weapon at me while I was sitting in the chair."
The bullet went into the wall just inches from her head.
He's suspended, bail will not be set until there is a dangerousness hearing, and the investigation is being done by the local district attorney's office.
