A Schenectady police officer is again facing trouble with the law and on the job after being charged with stalking and aggravated harrassment.
Officer John Lewis, 38, of Oregon Ave. was arrested Monday after an unspecified domestic violence incident, the Schenectady Police Department.
Lewis was previously arrested in June after his wife accused him of assaulting her. Lewis was cleared of the harrassment charge by a city court judge but ordered to stay away from his wife.
The Schenectady Police Department said at the time it was conducting an internal investigation of the incident and had put Lewis on unpaid leave.
Lewis was again put on unpaid leave after Monday's arrest. He is scheduled to reappear in court on Nov. 24th.
This isn't the first time that Lewis has come under fire. Back in 1998 Lewis was fired from the force after being accused of using a racial slur. He was eventually reinstated by an arbitrator.
