Officer Scott Moss Accused of Assaulting Wife


SEATTLE

A Seattle police officer was accused of assaulting his wife was ordered Monday to have no contact with her.

Officer Scott Moss was booked into jail early Saturday morning for investigation of second-degree assault.

According to a police report, deputies were dispatched to the couple's Sammamish home where Moss' wife told them Moss had held her wrists during an argument and cut her hand with a kitchen knife.

Moss, who previously served as one of the department's public information officers, was also arrested in 2005 for investigation of driving under the influence.

Moss has been with the department for 15 years and was most recently assigned to the Office of Professional Accountability, but Seattle police officials said in a statement that Moss was not responsible for conducting internal investigations.

At his bail hearing Monday afternoon, a judge issued a no-contact order against Moss and instructed him not to consume alcohol.

Seattle police officials say Moss' badge and gun will be seized upon his release from jail, and he will relieved of duty and then administratively reassigned.
