The Jefferson County Prosecuting Attorney charged a former Pacific police officer today with first-degree burglary, domestic assault, tampering with a victim and resisting arrest. Steven Gasior, 22, allegedly forced his way into his ex-girlfriend’s apartment around noon Monday... When deputies arrived, they noticed the door had been forced open and went inside the apartment. Gasior then told them he had been arguing with his girlfriend and deputies could hear her crying in a back bedroom, Brown said. They asked if everything was OK and she said, "No." After she came out of the room, she told police that Gasior had hit her on the head with a gun, threatened to kill her if she said anything and thrown the gun into a pile of clothes inside the bedroom, Brown said. At that point, Gasior started running toward the bedroom and deputies ordered him to stop. After a short struggle, officers handcuffed and arrested Gaisor...
