FORT WORTH, Texas — The Fort Worth Police Department (FWPD) said they've terminated one of their officers after investigating an off-duty incident from June.
Now-former officer Victor Rucker was arrested on June 2 and charged for a domestic violence case. According to FWPD, he was placed on restricted duty and stripped of his police power during the criminal and administrative investigations.
The department said Rucker's chain of command found multiple policy violations after reviewing the administrative investigation. Police Chief Neil Noakes reportedly agreed with Rucker's supervisors and fired him.
Rucker had been with the department for seven years and was assigned to West Division Patrol at the time of his arrest, police said.
"The FWPD will continue to hold employees accountable who do not meet the standards expected of a Fort Worth Police Officer and in doing so, will continue to be transparent and open with our community," FWPD stated in a press release.
No other information has been released at this time.
