OAKDALE – An officer with the Oakdale Police Department has been arrested after a domestic violence investigation.

Police say Officer Nicholas Stewart was arrested on Wednesday days after they were made aware of the allegations against him.

Investigators say the alleged incidents happened between 2019 and 2022.

"The Oakdale Police Department will not tolerate domestic violence of any form," said Chief of Police Jerry Ramar in a statement on Stewart's arrest.

Stewart remains on paid administrative leave from the department.
