NORTH LITTLE ROCK, ARKANSAS - An influencer cop who received a lifetime achievement award from former President Joe Biden has been arrested on a domestic battery charge.
North Little Rock officer Tommy Norman — who has more than 5 million followers on social media — was booked after his wife accused him of hitting her during an argument just before midnight Saturday, according to an arrest report obtained by the Arkansas Democrat Gazette.
The 27-year veteran, known for his upbeat persona and neighborhood outreach, has since also been placed on leave while being held in Pulaski County jail, according to records.
When authorities arrived at the cop’s home, Norman’s wife told them her husband, 53, hit her on the right side of her chest with the back of his hand, according to the arrest report from the Democrat Gazette.
The victim appeared to suffer a slight injury that was visible on her chest, according to the report.
Norman claimed to authorities he was only trying to defend himself, insisting his wife was slapping him during the argument and he tried to block them, the arrest report states.
