A Buncombe County sheriff’s deputy was arrested on a domestic violence charge early Saturday after a security guard spotted him allegedly smacking around his wife in downtown Greenville, police said.
Kevin King, 38, was charged with criminal domestic violence and hit and run after he reportedly struck a security guard’s car when he attempted to flee the scene at 210 Laurens St., Greenville police Lt. Dean Elliott said.
King’s wife, whose name wasn’t released, suffered scratches and bruises and declined medical treatment at the scene, he said.
Elliott said the guard reportedly saw the incident near a parking deck on Laurens Street and called 911 shortly before 2 a.m. Laurens Street runs adjacent to Main Street in Greenville downtown business district.
He said the couple drove down from North Carolina and apparently got into a quarrel after attending a party, where they may have had too much to drink.
King was being held at the Greenville County Detention Center until he can see a magistrate, Elliott said.
