Former Chattanooga police detective David Catchings Jr., 35, was indicted Wednesday on charges of reckless driving, driving under the influence and violation of implied consent.
Catchings was arrested twice in late 2014 – in September, when he was charged with DUI, and on New Year’s Eve, when he allegedly got into a fight with his mother-in-law and struck her in the face.
The indictment means a grand jury thought there is enough evidence to support the criminal charges, and moves the case from Hamilton County Sessions Court to Hamilton County Criminal Court.
