Hearing for Sgt Eric Downey Charged with Battery has Been Delayed

The hearing for a South Bend police officer charged with battery and operating motor vehicle while intoxicated has been delayed.

A hearing for Sgt. Eric Downey that was scheduled for Tuesday was postponed until 8 a.m. July 29.

Downey was arrested May 20 after officers were called to his home by his wife, who alleged abuse. Police said Downey later arrived home drunk while officers were at his home.

Downey has disputed both charges in interviews with The Tribune.

The officer remains on administrative leave with pay.
