CHATTANOOGA, Tenn. (AP) - Authorities in Tennessee say a police officer has been placed on leave pending the outcome of sexual assault allegations.
The Chattanooga Police Department says in a news release it is conducting an internal investigation into the officer, whose name was not released.
The statement says the Hamilton County Sheriff’s Office is conducting a separate criminal investigation after a woman reported the alleged incident last week involving an on-duty Chattanooga police officer. No charges have been filed.
