A California Highway Patrol officer has been arrested in Northern California on suspicion of child cruelty and spousal abuse.

The California Highway Patrol says 44-year-old Richard Joseph Handwork of Yuba City was arrested Friday at the CHP office in Yuba City on suspicion of inflicting corporal injury to a spouse or cohabitant and suspicion of willful cruelty to a child.
