A southern New Jersey
police officer has been suspended without pay following his arrest on domestic
violence charges.
Camden County Prosecutor
Warren Faulk announced Wednesday that Collingswood Police Sgt. Michael Taulane
was charged Friday with second-degree aggravated assault. The charge came after
law enforcement officials received allegations of ongoing domestic abuse
against a female victim.
The 41-year-old Taulane has served with the
Collingswood department for 22 years. He has been released on bail and was told
to have no contact with the woman.
Faulk said Taulane surrendered all weapons in
his possession.
A phone number for Taulane could not be
located Wednesday night.
