Complaints about a Murfreesboro Police officer assaulting his wife for the second time in two years are being investigated by detectives, a sergeant reported.

Officer Finess Brown, 36, was accused of assaulting his wife, Catina, during an argument Tuesday. The wife accused him of grabbing her wrist, causing her arm to be pulled behind her, Sgt. Harry Haigh reported. Their 15-year-old son tried to intervene.

“I examined Ms. Brown’s wrist and did not notice any signs of injury and she stated she was not injured,” Haigh reported.

Brown was charged with domestic assault of his wife in June 2007. Court records showed no documentation, indicating his record might have been erased as part of his case.

He has not been charged in this week’s complaint but his wife obtained a document ordering him to stay away from him.

Deputy Police Chief Randy Garrett said Brown has not been served yet with the order to stay away from his family.

“Until the investigation is completed by Detective West, I don’t know if we can answer questions about his status,” Garrett said.

Haigh reported Mrs. Brown told him she and her husband argued again Wednesday until she left the home with their four children.

She accused Brown of stopping her and the children Thursday where he allegedly rocked the car with them inside, the sergeant said. She called 911 and drove to the police department.

West helped Mrs. Brown apply for the order of protection and to Judge Mark Rogers’ office to sign the order of protection.

Brown and his son were not available for questioning about the case, the sergeant reported.
