Crime Seattle Police Officer Charged With Domestic Violence

Posted by Jonah Spangenthal-Lee on Wed, Mar 25, 2009 at 5:07 PM

King County Prosecutors have filed assault charges against a Seattle Police officer for an alleged domestic violence incident at his home near Sammamish.

Officer Scott Moss, 39, was arrested early March 21 after his wife ran to a neighbor's home and called 911. She told King County Sheriff's deputies that Moss had pushed her as she tried to leave during an argument and thrust a kitchen knife toward her hand, cutting her right thumb, court documents say.

His wife's thumb was bleeding when deputies arrived, court documents say.

Moss, who was previously a spokesman for the police department, was arrested in 2005 for drunken driving, although he later plead to a lesser charge.

Would be interesting to find out what the County gets on Moss from SPD files via discovery in this case. But I doubt those docs will ever see the light of day.

I am really sorry to hear about this. This is a good guy, helped my kid and family out a lot during troubled times with Seattle Team For Youth. I know he cared a lot about his family too. Bummer.

obviously he cares about his family, otherwise why would he allegedly stab his wife. and a DUI also, that is some classy shit.

What people need to remember that the great guy you see out on the street is not always the same guy the family behind close doors deals with. This sadly makes it harder for the family, as all the outside world sees is that great guy.

a policemans wife.
