Sidney Robert DeJesus, 56, used to work for the San Pablo, CA, PD. In fact he was a Lieutenant and the spokesman for the department. Until he stepped in it.
On January 7 officers responded to his home in Roseville, Placer County. They reported that his lady friend had obvious facial injuries on her. Dejesus took off (fled) the home before the local constabulary arrived. About 1/2 hour after initial police contact with the woman the local cops spotted his car, pulled him over and arrested him without incident.
Dejesus was booked on suspicion of domestic violence and has since made bail. He worked for 23 years for the Vallejo PD before going to San Pablo. I say "used to" because the San Pablo PD now reports that DeJesus is no longer with that department.
The newspaper says he was fired, though it is much more likely that he actually resigned. In California it is almost impossible to fire a cop in six days even if they are caught committing a felony with multiple witnesses and video. Since he is over 55 and has more than 20 years on the job he will be eligible for his pension as his offense was not related to the performance of his duties.

His LE career is over. Probably no prosecution either because he resigned.
