A Grosse Pointe Woods police officer has been arrested for shoving his girlfriend and resisting arrest, officials said today.
James Joseph Dadeppo, 53, of St. Clair Shores was arrested Friday at a home in the 28900 block of Lane Court near Common and Hayes Roads, police said.
The Macomb County Prosecutor's Office has issued a two-count misdemeanor warrant for Dadeppo on charges of domestic violence and obstructing a police officer, according to Dwyer. The penalty for each crime is 93 days in jail.
The defendant is scheduled to be formally arraigned in 37th District Court on Wednesday. He was released Saturday on a $2,500 bond, Warren Police Commissioner William Dwyer said today.
Police say they were called to the home on Lane Court to respond to a domestic dispute complaint. Officers spoke to a 53-year-old Warren woman who said Dadeppo became verbally abusive to her while they were having a few drinks at a Sterling Heights restaurant. The woman told police she left the restaurant and returned home.
Dadeppo later showed up at the home and argued with the victim, police said. He also pushed and shoved the woman around her kitchen, she told investigators. The suspect then started collecting some of his personal belongings from the home and the victim called police.
When Warren police officers arrived, they confronted Dadeppo in the home's driveway and retrieved his firearm, Dwyer said.
He said when the officers questioned Dadeppo, he became upset and refused to comply with their requests. A struggle ensued as officers attempted to handcuff him and take him into custody. No one was injured.
