A Rockford police officer is on paid administrative leave after his arrest on an aggravated domestic battery charge.
Donald Prine, 43, a 19-year-veteran of the force, turned himself in to the Winnebago County Sheriff’s Department on Monday after a domestic battery warrant was issued for his arrest.
Winnebago County Sheriff's Deputy Chief Dominic Iasparro said officers were called to Prine’s home Nov. 26 in reference to a domestic battery complaint. He said Prine was not arrested at the scene but deputies took down information and reviewed that information with the state’s attorney’s office.
A warrant was issued Monday for Prine’s arrest, and he turned himself in to the sheriff’s department.
Iasparro said the alleged victim was an adult female, but would not elaborate on the woman’s relationship to Prine.
“There were no injuries that required hospitalization,” Iasparro said.
According to a city of Rockford news release, Prine was off duty at the time of the alleged battery. He will remain on leave “pending the administrative and criminal review of the incident.”
