Fresno cop arrested twice in three days for domestic violence, charged by DA
A Fresno Police officer is on paid administrative leave after Visalia police arrested him twice in three days on domestic violence allegations. The Tulare County District Attorney filed four charges against 28-year-old Officer Jacob Ryan Romero.
Romero has been with Fresno Police since 2022. The department confirmed his leave status but gave no other details.
The Breakdown
- First incident: October 12 at 4:43 a.m., Visalia police responded to a family disturbance at 3200 block of N. Noyes Court in Visalia
- Second incident: October 15 at 7:14 p.m., same woman at same address
- Tulare County DA filed four charges total — the material does not state what those charges are
- Romero is on paid administrative leave, meaning Fresno taxpayers are still paying his salary
What This Means for You
An officer with the Fresno Police Department was arrested twice in three days at the same address on domestic violence allegations involving the same woman. The Tulare County District Attorney has filed four charges. The department has placed him on paid administrative leave but has not disclosed what those charges are or provided further details about the case.
What to Watch
The sources name no independent review of Romero’s fitness to stay employed. Fresno Police confirmed only that he’s on leave — no word on whether that leave will last until trial or what the department’s next steps will be.
