Interim Chief of Police Robin Henderson determined that Officer Travis's actions violated Civil Service Commission Rule 10.03 and suspended him from his duties for ninety days, from March 6, 2024, to June 3, 2024. An Internal Affairs investigation revealed that Officer Travis violated Civil Service Rules and APD policy when he failed to follow the arrest requirements for assaultive offenses and collect an assault victim's statement during a family violence call. Later, Officer Travis provided misleading statements when questioned by his supervisor.
