MIAMI (WSVN) – A Miramar Police sergeant has been placed on administrative leave after Miami-Dade Sheriff\u2019s Office deputies arrested him in connection with a domestic violence incident involving his girlfriend, authorities said.<\/p>\n
Devarious Holloway surrendered to authorities on Monday. The 32-year-old was charged with battery and criminal mischief causing $200 or less in damage, according to an arrest affidavit.<\/p>\n
Investigators said Holloway and the victim had been in a dating relationship for about two years when an argument erupted at the victim\u2019s home on Friday.<\/p>\n
According to the affidavit, the victim told deputies Holloway contacted her and asked her to come outside. <\/p>\n
When she did, the two began discussing the status of their relationship.<\/p>\n
Deputies said Holloway later entered the residence, where he threw the victim\u2019s cellphone, pushed her onto a couch and struck her during a physical confrontation.<\/p>\n
The victim reported injuries including a cut to her lip, bruising to her leg and redness to her chest, investigators said.<\/p>\n
The affidavit states the victim later retreated to a bedroom and locked the door. Holloway allegedly kicked the door, damaging the frame, while continuing to argue with her.<\/p>\n
Authorities said Holloway left the residence but later returned, where another confrontation occurred before he left the property.<\/p>\n
On Monday afternoon, Holloway surrendered at the Turner Guilford Knight Correctional Center in West Miami-Dade.<\/p>\n
Following his arrest, the Miramar Police Department confirmed Holloway is a sergeant with the agency and said he has been placed on administrative leave.<\/p>\n
\u201cThe Department acknowledges the matter referenced and has initiated a thorough administrative review in accordance with established departmental procedures,\u201d the department said in a statement.<\/p>\n
The department said the review was launched after it was notified by the Miami-Dade Sheriff\u2019s Office of the off-duty incident.<\/p>\n
\u201cThe Miramar Police Department remains steadfast in its commitment to professionalism, accountability, and ethical conduct, and will address this matter through the appropriate channels,\u201d the statement said.<\/p>\n
Court records show the case is being handled as a domestic violence matter. <\/p>\n
