Police say a veteran officer, with 20 years of service, was arrested early today, accused of domestic battery and driving under the influence.
Police arrested Sgt. Eric Downey, an afternoon shift patrol supervisor, at his home in the 1300 block of Fairview Street after his wife filed a battery complaint with police about 11:55 p.m. Tuesday.
According to Capt. Phil Trent, South Bend Police spokesman, an officer went to Downey’s home to take the complaint, which stemmed from an earlier incident. The exact details of the complaint are not known, but allege that Downey battered his wife, Trent said.
As officers interviewed his wife, Downey reportedly arrived at home, driving his own vehicle. Officers talked with Downey, who appeared to be intoxicated. A test at the St. Joseph County jail would reveal a 0.09 blood-alcohol level, according to Trent.
Police booked Downey into the jail, accused of domestic battery and driving under the influence. According to jail records, he is scheduled to appear in court for a bond hearing at 1:30 p.m. today.
