A San Antonio police officer was arrested early Thursday after investigators said he struck a woman in the face during a domestic dispute.
Officer Christian Harris, 28, was arrested just before 3 a.m. after Bexar County Sheriff’s deputies responded to an assault call, according to an SAPD media release.
Deputies said Harris attempted to leave the scene but was stopped a block away and taken into custody, the release states.
He was booked into jail on a Class A misdemeanor charge of assault causing bodily injury-married just before 6 a.m., magistrate records show.
Harris has worked for SAPD since 2016 and was most recently assigned to the department’s east substation.
SAPD officials said Thursday Harris has now been temporarily suspended without pay.
BCSO officials have not released preliminary information on Harris’ arrest.
Harris’ bond was set at $2,500. He is scheduled to be arraigned on Feb. 14.
The officer’s mugshot was not available at time of publishing, but SAPD provided Harris’ service photo. We will post his mugshot when it’s made available through Bexar County.
