Schenectady cop arrested again

SCHENECTADY -- Officer John Lewis has been arrested and suspended without pay for 30 days for allegedly violating an order of protection that was issued when he allegedly pushed his wife in April, police said.
Lewis was arraigned late Thursday in City Court on one count of second-degree criminal contempt and released on $500 bail, according to Lt. Brian Kilcullen, a city police spokesman.
He said Lewis, a 15-year veteran, had phone contact with the woman earlier this week. That conversation violated the order of protection that resulted after Lewis was arrested and charged with misdemeanor harassment on April 29 following a dispute with his wife over custody of their young son. Police said Lewis shoved the woman, resulting in his original arrest. The officer was released without bail, but was quickly off duty for 30 days.
