A Franklin Police Officer was arrested Monday for domestic violence. Johnson County Sheriff Doug Cox says that the particulars of the incident, which led to the arrest of Officer Schyuler Z. Brown, likely won’t be made available until sometime on Tuesday. He says that the officer who responded to the incident has been called away to other cases and has yet to fill out an incident report.

Franklin Police Chief Tim O’Sullivan says that city officials were “very disappointed” to learn about of the arrest of Brown. He says that city police were dispatched to the home when they learned about the officer’s involvement. To avoid the appearance of conflict or impropriety, O’Sullivan says that Franklin Police contacted the Johnson County Sheriff’s Office to handle the investigation. He adds that the city has placed Officer Brown on leave, pending an investigation and a merit commission hearing for final action.

Chief O’Sullivan added that he, and other city officials, are appreciative for the Sheriff’s Department’s help in this case.
