Tristan Hallman
A rookie Dallas officer was
arrested Thursday and charged with felony domestic violence assault, police
said.
Police say they responded to an
injured person call at Methodist Charlton Medical Center. The female victim
told police that she and Officer Julian Harris, 27, had an argument that turned
into a physical fight at Harris’s Dallas apartment.
Harris, who was hired in June
2013, was arrested and charged with aggravated assault, a second-degree felony.
He is currently in Dallas County jail in lieu of $25,000 bail.
If he does bond out, detectives
have filed an emergency protective order against him to keep him away from the
woman.
Harris has been placed on
administrative leave pending the investigation. He was a South Central patrol
officer.
In May, he was lauded by the
department and the Dallas Police Association forhelping save hooky-playing
teens who were swept into a creek during a rain storm.
