NEWARK, OH (WCMH) – A Police officer in Newark was fired Friday after an internal investigation that started with an October 2016 domestic violence arrest.

Officer Timothy Hansel was arrested on October 29, 2016 in the City of Heath and charged with a misdemeanor count of domestic violence.

Hansel pleaded guilty to a lesser charge of disorderly conduct and was granted diversion by the Licking County Municipal Court.
