12/13/09 – Valley Brook, OK — A Valley Brook cop is on the wrong side of the law after allegedly assaulting his girlfriend, handcuffing her and then chasing her as she flees to an Oklahoma City police station.
According to the official police report, Valley Brook police officer Jamie Sanchez, 33, became outraged, November 22 at about 2:30 p.m., when his 24-year old live-in girlfriend of the past year told him she wanted to breakup. According to people who know officer Sanchez and his girlfriend, they allege his unnamed girlfriend is a stripper at a Valley Brook club on SE 59th.
Sanchez’s girlfriend claims that when she tried to ignore Sanchez he “threw her face first onto the ground.” Sanchez then placed a handcuff on the girl’s left wrist, but was unable to cuff the right one. Sanchez then threatened to arrest his girlfriend for assaulting a police officer. The girlfriend tried to calm Sanchez down by telling him she would not breakup with him and that they could talk about it at dinner after he got off duty. Sanchez then removed the handcuff, left their apartment and returned to work.
The girlfriend called another friend to pick her up and take her to a nearby convenience store so she could have Oklahoma City police meet her there and escort her to retrieve her property from the apartment so she could move out.
While waiting at the store in a friend’s truck Sanchez began text messaging her and threatening to arrest her for eluding a police officer if she did not call him back. A few minute later Sanchez spotted his girlfriend sitting in a truck in a 7-11 parking lot and pulled up in his patrol car and attempted to block them in.
The girlfriend and her friend were able to drive out of the parking lot and began driving towards the Oklahoma City Santa Fe division police headquarters at a high rate of speed. Sanchez immediately followed with lights and sirens.
Oklahoma City police interviewed both Sanchez and his girlfriend – After finding injuries consistent with the girlfriends story Sanchez was placed under arrest for domestic abuse and booked into the Oklahoma County jail.
Valley Brook police report that Sanchez resigned after his arrest.
