LEOMINSTER, Mass. (AP) - A Massachusetts police officer has been placed on paid administrative leave after his wife alleged he assaulted her and pointed a gun at her head.
The Sentinel & Enterprise (https://bit.ly/2jjGnFY ) reports that 32-year-old Leominster Patrolman Jason Labell was released after his arraignment last week on charges of assault and battery on a family member and assault with a dangerous weapon.
Labell’s wife says in a police report she was punched in the face and her husband pointed a gun at her head.
