Fort Worth police officer arrested on suspicion of domestic violence in Saginaw
A Fort Worth police officer is accused of assaulting a family member while he was off duty Monday.
Officer Derek Maly was arrested in Saginaw. In a statement Tuesday, Saginaw police said they received a call around 3:40 a.m. about domestic violence on Parkhill Drive. They found a woman outside who said she had been assaulted by her husband.
The Fort Worth department said Monday it had placed Maly on restricted duty and stripped him of police powers pending the outcome of the criminal and administrative investigations.
“The Fort Worth Police Department holds its officers to a high standard on and off duty, and does not tolerate criminal misconduct or unethical behavior; therefore, a thorough investigation to collect and review the facts and the circumstances of these allegations will be conducted,” the department said.
Maly has been with the department for one year and was assigned to the Patrol Bureau.
