A veteran Kenosha Police officer is being suspended five days and relieved from his role as a K-9 officer after investigations into a domestic incident at his home while he was on duty.

The officer, Willie Hamilton, 46, agreed on Thursday to the disciplinary actions in a meeting with Kenosha Police Chief John Morrissey. Hamilton is being suspended without pay and must also undergo an evaluation for conflict resolution through the Employee Assistance Program.

On Wednesday, as the District Attorney’s office completed its review of the case, Hamilton was ticketed for disorderly conduct.

According to reports, Hamilton’s wife called police at 9:38 p.m. on Sept. 21. She reported Hamilton, who was on duty and in uniform, had come home and the couple had an argument. Hamilton allegedly yelled at his wife and stomped on a cable box.
