A Davie police officer was arrested in February after he allegedly pressed his pistol against his pregnant wife's head during an argument, police said.
Vally Getejanc, a 25-year-old policeman, was charged with aggravated assault and was relieved of duty until further notice. He was taken to the Broward jail, police said.
Getejanc's pregnant wife, 25-year-old Sheena Banks, accused her husband of threatening her life after an argument at their Davie home on Feb. 3, according to the police report.
The topic of discussion that day: door slamming.
According to the Banks' account in the police report, Banks and Getejanc were arguing about the way Banks slammed doors around the house. While both were arguing, Banks turned away, walked into the bedroom and slammed the door behind her. Getejanc entered the room shortly after and demanded that she close the door properly. When she refused, he turned around and reached down to his duty belt, which was lying on the floor.
He then pulled out his Sig Sauer .45 pistol and pressed the gun against the left side of her head, police said.
''Say one more f---ing word and I will shoot you!'' Getejanc told her, according to the report.
Banks remained silent -- and Getejanc later apologized to her, police said.
Although weeks passed before Banks notified police, she told detectives that she did so to give her husband time to ''cool off,'' according to police.
Getejanc was arrested on Feb. 27 by Davie police officer Patricia Charboneau. The next day, he was released on $1,000 bond.
Davie police completed a probable cause affidavit on March 19 and released documents about the event on Friday afternoon.
