Lieutenant of Mid-South police department arrested for domestic violence
By:
ARLINGTON, Tenn. – A Mid-South police lieutenant was relieved of duty after being charged with domestic assault—bodily harm.
The Piperton Police Department told FOX13 that Lieutenant Charles Taylor was relieved of duty pending the outcome of the case against him.
Deputies arrested Taylor Friday morning after a domestic dispute with a woman in Arlington. According to court records, a woman was asleep on the couch of a home in Arlington when Taylor woke up and demanded sex.
Authorities said that the woman was able to escape Taylor, but that he ran after her, grabbed her, and dragged her back into the house. The woman said that Taylor called her expletives as he knocked over items in the house. The woman eventually used a stun gun on Taylor, hitting the lieutenant with the device three or four times before he fell onto the floor, allowing her to escape, according to court records.
Taylor’s LinkedIn page shows that he previously worked for the Memphis Police Department and Oakland Police Department. He also works for a private security firm, according to his professional social media account.
