ORANGE COUNTY, Fla. – An Orange County deputy has been relieved of law enforcement duty after he was arrested on a domestic battery charge, officials from the Orange County Sheriff's Office said.
Jamahl Morse, 25, turned himself in to the Kissimmee Police Department on Sunday, a day after a warrant was issued for his arrest, a news release said.
Officials from the Kissimmee Police Department said Morse was involved in an altercation with a woman during which he grabbed on to her arm, refused to let her leave the vehicle they were in and held her head down on his lap without choking her.
Morse has worked in the Sheriff's Office's uniform patrol unit since June 2017. He has been relieved of law enforcement duties and assigned to an administrative position pending the outcome of the case, according to authorities.
Details about the incident surrounding his arrest were not immediately available.
