DURHAM — A city police patrol
officer has been put on leave following his arrest Sunday on two counts of
assault on a female while he was off duty.
Michael Ladle Hodrick, 27, was
charged with the misdemeanors, posted a $2,000 bond and was released shortly
after his arrest, records show.
He is scheduled to appear in
court Sept. 17.
Police spokeswoman Kammie
Michael said Wednesday that Hodrick had been placed on administrative leave,
which is paid, while the charges are pending.
The charges do not involve
Hodrick’s work with the department’s Patrol Services Bureau, which is in charge
of the city’s five districts, Michael said
