A Stillwater police officer is on paid administrative leave following his arrest in October at his house in Hudson, Wis., on charges of domestic abuse.

Officer Jason Belisle, a nine-year veteran of the Stillwater Police Department, is facing counts of battery and disorderly conduct in St. Croix County Circuit Court.

Belisle, 33, was charged Oct. 16, the day after he called St. Croix County Sheriff’s Office deputies to his house on East Canyon Drive following a fight with his ex-girlfriend.

His ex-girlfriend, Holly Packard, 34, also is facing two charges of domestic abuse — battery and disorderly conduct. She was issued a notice to appear for court by deputies at the scene.

According to the criminal complaint, Belisle and Packard both claimed that they had been injured by the other during a fight at the house. Two children were in the house at the time.

Belisle said Packard “had been upset with him earlier that day about a message he received on his phone from a former female co-worker,” the complaint states.

Both are scheduled to appear in St. Croix County Circuit Court on Dec. 12 for pre-trial hearings.
