A Charlotte-Mecklenburg police
officer was arrested and charged in Union County Thursday night after an
alleged domestic dispute involving a woman, the department said Friday.
Michael Ray Snider, 32, was
arrested shortly after 10:30 p.m. Thursday and charged with assault on a
female, according to the Union County Sheriff’s Office website.
“The charges are related to an
incident that occurred at Officer Snider’s residence in Union County,” a CMPD
representative said. It was not immediately clear who the woman involved in the
incident was or her relationship to Snider.
Snider has been placed on paid
administrative leave pending the outcome of the department’s Internal Affairs
Bureau investigation, police said.
Before being placed on leave,
Snider was assigned to patrol in the Independence Division and was hired by
CMPD in March 2003, according to the department.
