Deputy Mario Carey Charged with Domestic Violence


A Pierce County sheriff’s deputy was charged with domestic violence Wednesday after an argument with his girlfriend.

Mario Carey, 37, was charged with fourth-degree domestic violence, a misdemeanor, in Bonney Lake Municipal Court.

Carey’s girlfriend called police to a residence near Lake Tapps about 6:40 a.m. Feb. 16 after she and Carey had an argument, said Bonney Lake police spokesman Tony Rice. Officers interviewed the two and found probable cause to arrest the deputy, Rice said.

The woman didn’t need medical assistance at the scene, Rice said.

Carey, an eight-year veteran of the Sheriff’s Department, was placed on paid administrative leave and, following standard procedure, his weapon was confiscated, sheriff’s spokesman Ed Troyer said.

The Sheriff’s Department will conduct an internal investigation of the incident, Troyer said.

He was on Cops S17 Episode 31. He says he met his wife at a DV call (she was a fellow officer) and it was love at first sight.
