JACKSONVILLE, Fla. — The Jacksonville Sheriff’s Office announced the arrest of JSO Officer John Luna on charges of domestic battery after a physical altercation Sunday night.
Luna, who joined JSO as a corrections officer in February 2022, has been suspended without pay pending the criminal case’s resolution.
According to the official JSO report, on June 9, the Integrity Unit was alerted to a potential domestic incident involving a JSO police recruit.
A neighbor initially reported the incident, citing sounds of yelling, screaming, and a female calling for help, followed by the cry of a baby and subsequent banging noises. He reportedly observed a woman trying to re-enter the apartment before calling the police.
Evidence technicians photographed the victim’s injuries, and Luna was subsequently taken to the Pre-Trial Detention Facility (PTDF).
Undersheriff Shawn Coarsey Held a briefing today to discuss the recent arrest of a current JSO police officer.
