Police Commander Arrested On Battery Charge

Associated Press

August 01, 2011

CHARLESTOWN, Ind.— State police say a top commander in a southern Indiana sheriff’s department has been arrested on domestic battery charges after his wife reported being beaten by him.

Troopers arrested Lt. Col. John Shelton of the Clark County Sheriff’s Department at his home in Charlestown early Sunday.

Clark County Sheriff Danny Rodden tells the Courier-Journal of Louisville, Ky., (http://bit.ly/qL4ULJ ) that the 57-year-old Shelton is the department’s second-shift commander. The sheriff says Shelton spent the night in jail before being released without bail with orders from a judge to stay away from his wife.

Rodden says he plans to meet with Shelton on Monday to discuss the confrontation and decide what to do next.

Shelton couldn’t be reached for comment because no phone number was listed for him.

    When there is an arrest by a fellow officer we all know that a Judge signed a warrant to pick him up. I imagine it was hard for that officer to arrest one of his own but he will have to be found guilty of course.

    All I can say is that this Police Commander deserves all the support that can be mustered. Personally, I think that an emotional charge of battery, without thought of the consequences that follow, will potentially damage the whole life style that not only provides the bread and butter, but the very fabric that feeds the future. If the charges are substantiated, then the system will do that which it does. But the mere aligation alone, has already worked it's ugly and damaging deed, regardless if he is found not guilty.

    Good luck to this man and his family....

    A blow to police culture either way.

    If Mrs. Shelton's charges are false, her playing the 'ace card' only underscores the hazards of trusting a wife or girlfriend to engage in honest and productive conflict.

    The visor snaps shut. Tension builds. Relationships suffer. Superficial relationships or ones where the wife or girlfriend routinely capitulate look more attractive.
