MOUNT VERNON - A 43-year-old New York City police officer was arrested early yesterday, accused of stealing his ex-girlfriend's keys during a violent domestic dispute with her in a municipal parking lot, police said. Curtis Peterson was charged with third-degree robbery, a felony. He was arraigned yesterday in City Court and released without bail. Several New York City police officials attended the arraignment. The woman, 35, told police the off-duty officer rammed his 350 Nissan Z into the side of her Ford Fusion during the 12:30 a.m. dispute in the parking lot at 33 N. Third Ave., said Mount Vernon police Commissioner David Chong. The Mount Vernon woman said Peterson then punched her in the face and took her car keys before driving away, but returned and threw the keys at her, police said. The woman called police. Chong said Peterson identified himself as police when officers arrived. Police said they took his 9mm gun and badge before notifying the NYPD. NYPD has launched an Internal Affairs investigation and Peterson was suspended, Chong said. Peterson is due June 30 in City Court.
