Flagstaff PD

The Flagstaff Police Department says it is "embarrassed" by the actions of one of its own, after a Flagstaff police officer was arrested on misdemeanor domestic violence assault charges Wednesday night.

Officer Shawn Gilleland was attending a country music concert near Florence with a girlfriend and off-duty members of the Flagstaff Police Department when Gilleland became angry and struck his girlfriend in the face, and another officer standing nearby, the department said.

"Our officers who were present intervened and separated him from the group," said Flagstaff police spokesman Lt. Ken Koch.

The fellow off-duty officers then phoned an off-duty sergeant, and the sergeant called the Pinal County Sheriff's Office.

Gilleland was arrested and booked into the Pinal County Jail for the night.

The officer Gilleland struck while allegedly striking his girlfriend did not file charges.

Gilleland is on paid administrative leave while the Flagstaff Police Department conducts its own investigation
