Officer Andre Johnson
August 12, 2006 - A Metro police officer was arrested on charges that he hit his girlfriend in the mouth at her north Nashville home late Tuesday, Metro police said.
Officer Andre Johnson, 40, a West Precinct patrol officer and 18-year police veteran, was booked Wednesday afternoon on a domestic violence charge and decommissioned pending the outcome of a police investigation, Metro police said.
His 37-year-old girlfriend told police that she and Johnson were play-wrestling when he got too rough. After asking him to stop, the woman told police, Johnson struck her in the mouth and caused a cut that required stitches.
Johnson took her to Nashville General Hospital at Meharry for medical attention early Wednesday, police said.
He was freed on $2,500 bond.
