A volunteer chaplain was suspended from the Chattanooga Police Department pending an investigation, a spokesperson said, after the chaplain was accused of threatening his wife with a knife.
Gregory Collins, 60, was arrested Tuesday and charged with domestic aggravated assault. His wife told police that he’s allegedly become increasingly confrontational and made threats while the two were in the process of a divorce, according to an arrest report.
Police watched one of several videos his wife filmed that allegedly showed her husband threatening her and calling her derogatory names, police said.
On March 22, he was recorded allegedly pointing a knife at his wife and telling her to keep a possible application he sent to the East Ridge Police Department a secret, according to an arrest report.
