Officer Christopher Paciorkowski Arrested for Domestic Battery


IN

A five-year veteran of the Elkhart Police Department has been arrested for felony domestic battery and interference with reporting a crime.

Police were called to a home on Elkhart’s north side about 9:20 a.m. Wednesday. There a woman told the officers she wanted to file battery charges against her fiancĂ©, 40-year-old Christopher Paciorkowski, for pushing her.

Because Paciorkowski is an Elkhart police officer, officers requested the Elkhart County Sheriff’s Department handle the complaint.

The Sheriff’s Department determined there was enough probable cause to arrest Paciorkowski for felony domestic battery and interference with reporting a crime. He was booked into the Elkhart County Jail.

Paciorkowski was placed on administrative leave according to the Elkhart Police Department.
