A Hamilton County sheriff’s deputy has been arrested for the second time in a week after he allegedly violated a no-contact court order, according to a news release.
Jorge Araiza – recently charged with simple domestic assault and placed on administrative leave – was taken into custody on Monday after he was found to be in contact with the victim of the assault in the 7800 block of Saylor Lane in Hixson. Araiza was then taken to the Hamilton County Jail, the release states.
In the original incident, the victim reportedly told a detective that Araiza “slapped her across her back just below the shoulder blades.” The detective noted there were no visible injuries and the woman did not request medical attention, according to court records.
When the detective questioned Araiza, he said he “was intoxicated and did not remember what happened,” the detective noted in the criminal affidavit.
