Officer Bobby Paige Beats Wife

The wife of a Louisville Metro Police officer claims he pinned her against a wall, injured her arm while grabbing her and then shoved her to the ground during an argument, according to court records.

Officer Bobby Paige, 36, was arrested about 7 a.m. Saturday at his home off Fegenbush Lane in southern Jefferson County by members of the department’s Public Integrity Unit, which investigates criminal misconduct in the department, police said.

Paige, who was charged with assault 4th degree, had been placed on administrative leave, said Officer Phil Russell, a police spokesman.

Paige, who has been an officer since 2004, posted a $500 bond on Sunday and was released from Metro Corrections. He will be arraigned on Wednesday.

Russell said he could not discuss the case since the investigation is continuing.
