OMAHA, Neb. (AP) — An Omaha police officer has been arrested on suspicion of making terroristic threats and other felonies after a disturbance involving his girlfriend and another man.

The Omaha World-Herald reports that 51-year-old Officer Terry Hughes was booked into jail Friday morning on suspicion of two counts of terroristic threats, two counts of use of a weapon to commit a felony and one count of destruction of property.

He is being held at the Sarpy County Jail.

Police said Hughes’ 41-year-old girlfriend called 911 and said Hughes had destroyed items before leaving in a truck.
