NORWALK, CT – A 10-year veteran of the Norwalk Police Department, Jermaine Nash, was arrested Friday on charges related to a family violence incident.
Norwalk police said that at around 3:07 pm. 9-1-1 received a call indicating that an assault had occurred and that the offender had left.
“Officers responded to the scene and located the victim. The victim was transported to Norwalk Hospital for treatment of minor injuries. Officers learned that the offender was Jermaine Nash, a ten-year veteran of the department,” the department said. “Chief Kulhawik was immediately notified of the incident. Officer Nash was quickly located, and cooperative. He turned himself in to police headquarters to face charges, where he was relieved of his duty weapon and badge.”
Officer Nash is on administrative leave as a requirement of the Norwalk Police labor contract for any off-duty incident.
Chief Kulhawik said his department’s investigators are working directly with State’s Attorney Paul Ferencek to ensure a thorough investigation, with the welfare of the victim receiving top priority.
“I was notified at the onset. I have confidence in the professionalism of our officers and supervisors in the handling of this case, but wanted to ensure complete transparency in this investigation, and as such, I requested that the State’s Attorney be consulted,” Chief Kulhawik said. “As a result the charges were confirmed and the bond was determined. Additional investigations will be conducted to determine if any additional charges are appropriate.” This investigation is ongoing with no further information available at this time.”
Nash was charged with two counts of strangulation and three counts of assault.
