Lenoir City, TN (WOKI) A Lenoir City police officer is arrested Tuesday and charged with domestic assault.

According to court records, Christopher Law was arrested and charged in connection to an altercation Tuesday involving his wife during which he allegedly shoved her, yelled at her, and smacked her phone out of her hand because he thought she was recording him.

The affidavit also claims that Law punched himself and told the victim to call the police because “they wouldn’t believe her” and she “would lose her job.”

When the victim left to report the incident to police, she stated she was concerned that Law would harm the child and that she was in fear for her and the child’s life, the affidavit says.

Court documents indicate Law’s alleged aggressive behavior toward his wife began Monday when coworkers at a retirement party requested that Law be picked up because he was intoxicated. When the victim arrived, Law began yelling at her in front of a young child.

Lenoir City Police Department officials say Law was suspended with pay pending the results of the investigation.
