DURHAM
A Durham police officer has been placed on paid leave after being arrested on assault charges Sunday.
Officer T.A. Paylor is accused of hitting a woman in the face, causing her nose to bleed and splitting her lip, and holding her against her will, according to an arrest warrant.
Paylor, 42, was released from the Durham County jail after posting a $30,000 bond the same day. The department's Professional Standards Division is reviewing the case, which is standard procedure.
Paylor is a crime prevention officer who joined the department in 1996. His next court appearance will be Oct. 13.
