Correction: Officer's gender corrected in story.

A Boston police officer was released on $500 bail at his arraignment today on domestic-violence charges, the Suffolk County District Attorney's office reports.

Roselyn Lacroix, 46, who has been a BPD officer since 2006, was charged with assault and battery on a family or household member and making threats at his arraignment in Dorchester Municipal Court, the DA's office reports.

[Assistant DA Brandon] DeAvilla said that at about 2:40 a.m. on Sunday, Boston police responded to a home in Dorchester and were told by the victim that she had awoken to the sound of Lacroix breaking furniture. Officers noted two broken tables, broken windows, and broken glass decorations in the dining room area of the house. The victim told officers that Lacroix then walked up the stairs, broke down the door of a bedroom, grabbed the victim by the face and said, “I’m going to burn this house down with you in it.”

In addition to bail, Lacroix was ordered to stay away from the victim and the house and that he submit to random alcohol screening while his case is pending. He is next scheduled for a pre-trial hearing on Nov. 25, the DA's office reports.

BPD suspended Lacroix and launched an internal investigation following her arrest.

Innocent, etc.
