An arrest affidavit obtained by Denver7 on Tuesday

Arresting documents show Aurora police responded to a home on E. Union Place in Aurora on Nov. 5 on a report of a domestic violence incident that had just taken place.

There, responding officers spoke with APD sergeant Matthew Schlauger, 34, and the victim of the alleged crime. After police interviews with both, officers learned the couple got in an argument over their relationship when Schlauger reportedly took his girlfriend’s phone and refused to give it back before walking away to their bedroom.

Police arrested Schlauger on one count of domestic violence, one count of third-degree assault and second-degree criminal tampering – all misdemeanors. He was held at the Arapahoe County Detentions Facility until he appeared before a judge, where he has given a personal recognizance bond.
