Haldimand OPP have charged a five-year-veteran Hamilton police officer with assault following an off-duty domestic incident.
The officer, who lives in Haldimand, was arrested Tuesday. His name will not be released to avoid identifying the complainant.
The officer has been re-assigned from operational duties to administrative tasks.
Hamilton police spokesperson Catherine Martin said the OPP were called in to investigate because the alleged assault occurred in this jurisdiction.
The officer is charged with three counts of assault.
He will appear in court in Cayuga Jan. 13.
This incident is the second time in 48 hours an area police officer has been charged with assault following a domestic argument.
An off-duty Halton police officer was charged Wednesday after the Halton police investigation involving the accused and his former common-law wife of two years.
The officer has been arrested and charged with assault, uttering death threat and criminal harassment.
He was a uniform patrol officer assigned to Milton.
He has been suspended from duty with pay.
