Former Tulsa City Councilor Arrested For Domestic Assault And Battery

Former Tulsa City Councilor Eric Gomez, 42, is out on bond following his arrest over the weekend for domestic assault.

Gomez was arrested early Sunday following an incident at his home.

Jail records show Gomez's wife told Tulsa Police that her husband had assaulted her and she showed officers her injuries.

She told police that when she tried to call 911, Gomez took the phone away from her. She said he then ran out of the house to a next door neighbor's home.

Tulsa Police say when they located Gomez, he resisted arrest and smelled of alcohol.

Gomez was booked into the Tulsa County jail on complaints of domestic assault and battery, resisting arrest and interfering with an emergency call.

He is set for a court appearance on February 28, 2012.

Gomez served on the Tulsa city council from 2008 to 2009.
