Officer Eric Brefini
03/23/2006 - An Knox County Sheriff's Deputy working at the courthouse was arrested there today.
Court Officer Eric Brefini is charged with domestic assault and false imprisonment. His wife told officers Brefini got angry after she went shopping.
Brefini's wife says that he told her she spent too much money. She says that Brefini then shoved her against the counter, grabbed her by the throat, and would not let her leave the house.
A spokesperson for the Sheriff's Department says Brefini is on paid leave.
Brefini has been a Knox County Officer for about 7 years.
