STAMFORD
A 24-year veteran police officer was called into city headquarters while on duty Wednesday and arrested on threatening and disorderly conduct charges, a department spokesman said.
Police said the charges against Officer Donald Greer, 46, stem from an domestic incident but provided no details. Greer was released on a promise to appear in court Thursday.
"The details of the arrest are a personal issue," Lt. Sean Cooney said.
Cooney said he would not comment further and would not identify where the alleged incident occurred or where Greer resides.
Cooney said Greer turned in his badge and firearm and was placed on paid suspension, pending a review of the charges by the department's Internal Affairs division.
State domestic violence laws require residents to give up their firearms if they are accused of a crime from a domestic incident until the courts resolve the case, Cooney said. That could be a factor when police determine the length of Greer's suspension, Cooney said.
"He's been a good policeman for 24 years," Cooney said.
