why was officer tommy norman arrested

Officer Tommy Norman was arrested on September 13, 2025, on a charge of third- degree domestic battery. The arrest stemmed from a dispute with his wife, who accused him of striking her on the right side of her chest with the back of his hand, causing a minor injury observed by officers at the scene. Norman claimed he was defending himself after being slapped by his wife during the argument. Following his arrest, he was placed on administrative leave pending an internal investigation and judicial process. He was released on a $350 bond and is scheduled for a plea and arraignment hearing in October 2025.
