An arraignment hearing for a former Greenfield Police Officer has been continued until late February.
Kyle Duff, 41, of Greenfield, was arrested Nov. 30 on misdemeanor charges of domestic violence and handling a firearm while intoxicated. He subsequently resigned from his post as a GPD officer.
Duff's stepson, 21-year-old, Tyler Anderson, was also arrested, on a charge of domestic violence.
They had been scheduled for arraignment Monday in Highland County Court in Greenfield before Hillsboro Municipal Court Judge David McKenna. Greenfield Judge Robert Judkins had recused himself from the case.
According to the court, the arraignment hearing was continued Monday because Duff's attorney, Jeff Lyle, was not available to appear.
A pretrial hearing has been scheduled for Feb. 27 at 2 p.m., which is in accordance with McKenna's scheduled, according to the court.
Anderson is being represented by attorney J.D. Wagoner.
Following the November incident, Greenfield Police Chief Tim Hester said that the incident is now closed with the GPD, but that the criminal matter is not yet resolved.
"He was suspended and placed on administrative leave subsequent to his arrest," Hester said. "He has since resigned from the police department. As far as the PD is concerned, this matter is closed and he is no longer employed here. But he still has to face the criminal charges."
