A six-year-veteran of the Jeffersontown Police Department has been arrested on an assault charge after a domestic dispute with his wife.
Officer Torray Walker, 39, was arrested early Wednesday after police responded to a call from his wife, said Jeffersontown Police Chief Rick Sanders.
"There were no visible injuries, but there was a little bit of pushing and shoving," Sanders said.
"According to law, when we have a complaint of domestic violence, major or minor, we have to charge," he said.
Walker was charged with assault in the fourth degree and placed on administrative leave with pay pending an investigation, Sanders said. He said Walker was booked at Louisville Metro Corrections and released Wednesday night.
There were no published telephone listings for Walker in Louisville.
Sanders described Walker as an "exemplary officer" who has 26 letters of commendation in his file and no history of complaints or disciplinary action. Sanders said that prior to joining the Jeffersontown police force, Walker worked for the Lexington Police Department, where he also had an excellent record.
