A Northern California police department arrested two of its own in as many days this week.
The Sacramento Police Department announced the arrests of the officers for separate allegations of domestic violence and filing false police reports.
Officer Justin David Shepard was arrested Friday, one day after his department said it was notified of a week-old domestic violence incident that left a victim with visible injuries in Natomas.
In a press release, the department said the incident occurred while Shepard was off-duty and that the victim wasn’t hospitalized. The department cited victim privacy in withholding additional details, but said Shepard, 30, was arrested on charges of felony domestic violence.
