OMAHA — An Omaha police officer has been arrested on suspicion of making terroristic threats and other felonies after a disturbance involving his girlfriend and another man.
Officer Terry Hughes, 51, was booked into jail Friday morning on suspicion of two counts of terroristic threats, two counts of use of a weapon to commit a felony and one count of destruction of property, the Omaha World-Herald reported.
He is being held at the Sarpy County Jail. His arrest resulted from an altercation that occurred about 2:30 a.m. Friday at an apartment.
Hughes’ 41-year-old girlfriend called 911 and said Hughes had destroyed items before leaving in a truck, Omaha police said in a news release.
Three people told officers that Hughes had been in an argument with his girlfriend and a 58-year-old man.
