Description: Officer Strunk was working from 7:00 a.m. to 7:00 p.m. on July 4, 2022 when he and other officers responded to a domestic violence dispute between an adult son who was under the influence of alcohol and his father, who he assaulted. When the officers arrived at the residence and conducted an investigation, they developed probable cause to arrest the adult son. Officer Strunk handcuffed the individual and as he walked him down a flight of stairs, there was a verbal confrontation between them that led to Officer Strunk using force by pushing the arrestee up against the door. After transporting the subject to headquarters, Officer Strunk walked the arrestee across the courtyard and once again used force by grabbing hold of the arrestee by the back of the neck. Two other officers who had been standing there intervened and relieved Officer Strunk of handling the prisoner. An Internal Affairs Investigation commenced which was Sustained and the agreed upon discipline was a forfeiture of 180 hours of vacation time and signing a Last Chance Agreement.
