A Dallas officer received a five-day suspension last week
after receiving a domestic violence citation in DeSoto last year, police said
Wednesday.
Rashad Allen, 31, was given the suspension Thursday. He had
been placed on administrative leavesince Nov. 30. He can appeal the decision.
Allen, who joined the department in 2008 and was assigned to
the South Central Patrol Division, was one of two officers suspended Thursday
in connection with domestic violence incidents. A third officer, Kristoffer
Lewis, has been recommended for termination and pleaded guilty Wednesday to
misdemeanor assault.
