SEYMOUR — A Bridgeport cop was arrested on a domestic violence charge Sunday after an incident involving his ex-wife.
Marco Brito, 45, was charged with second-degree breach of peace about 6:35 p.m., according to court records.
The charge is a Class B misdemeanor punishable by a maximum of six months in jail.
A message was left Wednesday at a publicly listed telephone number for Brito.
In a press release, Seymour police said Brito “was involved in a domestic violence incident with his ex-wife at their residence.”
After his arrest, Brito was released on a $2,500 nonsurety bond.
He appeared at Superior Court in Derby Tuesday, where a judge issued a protective order that is sealed from public disclosure and continued the case to July 11.
Brito was sworn in as a cop in October 2011.
His current status at the department was unclear Wednesday afternoon.
Asked whether Brito had been disciplined or put on leave, police spokesman Terron Jones said, “We do not have any information at this time.”
Bridgeport Police Union President Sgt. Chuck Paris said Wednesday he was waiting for more details from the chief’s office and declined to comment further.
