INDIANAPOLIS—Two IMPD officers were arrested Friday on charges from two separate incidents.
Officer Jason Norman, a 14-year veteran, was arrested in Hamilton County on charges of domestic battery resulting in serious bodily injury, criminal confinement, and domestic battery.
The other officer who was arrested was Nicholas Wroblewski. He was taken into custody on misconduct and theft charges.
IMPD Chief Randal Taylor issued this statement about the two arrests:
No chief wants to be faced with the prospect of arresting their own officer, but law-enforcement has a responsibility to do what is right and a sworn duty to protect our community. It is for this reason that we initiated and conducted these thorough investigations, and reached the difficult but necessary decision to request charges be filed in these cases. The officers arrested today have been placed on unpaid suspension. Additionally, I have made a recommendation to terminate the employment of both officers to the Citizens Police Merit Board. The events of recent days have led us to reaffirm our commitment to transparency and holding ourselves accountable to our community. We remain steadfast in that effort.
