Officers Dana & James DeVries Involved in Domestic Violence

Public Safety Officer Dana Bryce DeVries and her husband and fellow officer, James "Todd" DeVries, are no longer working for the department. The revelation comes nearly two months after allegations that Dana DeVries kicked her husband during a domestic assault.

"They no longer work for the city," Capt. Rick Yonker said of the couple today.

He would not say if the officers resigned or were terminated, and would not disclose any internal findings.

Dana DeVries was charged with misdemeanor domestic violence after allegedly kicking her husband in a Nov. 3 incident. Her employment ended Dec. 16. Her husband's employment ended Nov. 25.

The couple had been married about two years, each bringing a child from previous relationships, records showed. No serious injuries were reported after the alleged fight, but police said the husband had a red mark on his body.
