An Auburn police officer was arrested following an alleged “domestic incident,” Police Chief Bryan Morrison announced Friday evening in a news release.
The officer, whose name was not released, was taken into custody by Lincoln police. Morrison said the incident reportedly occurred in July and that the officer could be both a victim and suspect in the matter, which is why the chief declined to disclose the officer’s identity.
“Given the nature of the reported incident, we are treating this with the utmost regard,” Morrison said in a statement. “We understand the community expects transparency from its Police department and law enforcement officers. To promote that we are ensuring that a thorough and impartial internal investigation occurs.”
The chief said the officer was placed on administrative leave and that an investigation is ongoing, with Auburn police cooperating with both the Lincoln Police Department and Placer County District Attorney’s Office.
Lincoln police and city officials did not immediately respond Saturday morning to a request for further information.
