A 35-year-old patrol officer who has been with the Jacksonville Sheriff’s Office since February 2004 was arrested Thursday and charged with battery and drug offenses after an incident with a woman last week.
Scott K. Bridges was taken into custody Thursday morning and is now on voluntary leave without pay, Undersheriff Dwain Senterfitt said.
Senterfitt said a female acquaintance contacted the officer last week through text message and told him she was in pain and wanted him to bring her some medication.
