Off-Duty NYPD Detective Charged with Assault in Staten Island Domestic Incident

An off-duty NYPD detective found himself on the wrong side of the law yesterday in Staten Island. Douglas MacEwen, a 42-year-old member of the force, was arrested and charged with third-degree assault, as reported by

Shore News Network

. The precinct involved in taking their own into custody was the 122nd, at roughly 1:23 in the morning.

The event which led to MacEwen’s charge was soon clarified to have been a domestic incident. Though specifics were scarce, it was enough for the authorities to decisively act. According to

, the arrest occurred around 1:30 a.m., which seems to closely align with the timeframe provided by other sources.

As of now, the NYPD has withheld commenting on the arrest of Detective MacEwen, with the understanding that he remains an active-duty detective. His status may very well hinge on the legal proceedings to follow and the untangling of what precisely transpired to lead to these charges. Often, the process of justice moves forward weighing heavily the outcomes of both public opinion and legal adjudication.
