A former Prichard police officer accused of domestic violence asked a judge on Wednesday to reinstate bail and hold the alleged victim in contempt.
Mobile Cunty District Judge George Zoghby, who heard testimony on Monday, said on Wednesday that he would consider both issues and rule at a later day.
Defense attorney Scott Hawk, noting that the judge ordered both Carter and Doucette to stay away from each other, asked the judge to hold the woman in contempt. He said Doucette, by her own testimony, violated that order by going to Carter’s house over Easter. “You heard her testify that she felt controlled by him at all times and that she is just now coming out from under that,” he said.“How does a person with four prior domestic violence arrests be allowed to be a first responder?” he said.
The couple’s interaction during the Easter holiday turned violent, according to testimony. Hawk noted that a Chickasaw police report lists his client as the victim and that Carter had injuries, including a bite mark“He failed to mention that it was his client who induced my client to go there, that it was his client who was controlling my client,” he said. “And he failed to mention that it was his client who wound up with the eight new charges.
