LEESBURG, Fla. — A Groveland police officer is facing two felony charges after investigators said she followed her boyfriend through Leesburg and repeatedly rammed his vehicle with her own.
Mya Rosealin Salas was arrested early Friday on charges of aggravated domestic battery with a deadly weapon and aggravated domestic stalking, according to a Leesburg Police Department arrest affidavit.
Police called about reported road rage incident
Officers responded around 11:41 p.m. Thursday to the Walmart parking lot at 2501 Citrus Boulevard.
Dispatchers told officers that a man had reported being followed by his girlfriend, who had already struck his vehicle multiple times. He stopped in the parking lot to wait for police.
The man told investigators that he had visited another woman’s home after attending a basketball game. According to the affidavit, Salas arrived at the home, confronted him and followed him when he attempted to leave for work.
The man alleged that Salas pursued him across multiple roads and repeatedly rammed his vehicle as he tried to get away.
Officer said she could not see vehicle
Salas told police she was six months pregnant and had suspected that her boyfriend was at another woman’s home after he stopped answering his phone, according to the affidavit.
Investigators said Salas acknowledged following him but claimed she did not have her glasses and could not see his vehicle when he slowed down.
The couple had been in an on-and-off relationship for approximately five years and continued living together, according to the affidavit.
The man told investigators that he had ended the relationship earlier that day and wanted to co-parent their child after the baby was born.
Groveland police confirm employment
The man told Leesburg police that Salas worked for the Groveland Police Department. Investigators contacted the agency and confirmed that she was a sworn officer.
The man said he did not want to pursue charges but wanted Salas to leave him alone. In domestic violence cases, law enforcement officers can make an arrest based on probable cause regardless of whether the reported victim requests charges.
Salas was arrested and taken to the Lake County Jail.
The allegations contained in an arrest affidavit have not been proven in court.
