He was also charged with having an expired registration card.
CMPD’s Internal Affairs Division is conducting an internal investigation into the arrest. Auch has been placed on unpaid administrative leave as a result.
“Officer Auch’s arrest is a serious matter, and our community deserves clear accountability. I expect every member of the Charlotte‑Mecklenburg Police Department to uphold the highest professional and ethical standards, both on and off duty,“ Chief Estella Patterson wrote in a statement. ”One individual’s action is not reflective of the dedication and integrity of the many men and women who serve this community every day.”
