SEDGWICK COUNTY—Law enforcement authorities are investigating a police officer on multiple charges following an arrest.
On Wednesday afternoon, 23-year-0ld Wichita Police Department officer Jonathan Ahumada was booked into the Sedgwick County Jail on charges of domestic battery, stalking, and criminal restraint, according to police spokesman Officer Charley Davidson.
Law enforcement authorities recently learned of Ahumada possibly involved in domestic violence incidents with a woman known to him. Further investigation into the allegations led to his arrest. The Sedgwick County Sheriff’s Office (SCSO) investigated at the request of WPD in order to avoid conflicts of interest. The SCSO is still actively investigating the case.
Ahumada has been employed with WPD for 10 months and was placed on paid administrative leave Wednesday, pending the outcome of the criminal and internal investigation.
