A Birmingham police officer was arrested Thursday night after he fired a shot at a woman's car during a fight in the front yard.

South Precinct Officer Demarcus Blanding was booked into the Jefferson County Jail at 6:30 p.m. Thursday, according to jail records. He remains in the jail this afternoon with bond set at $500.

Jefferson County sheriff's deputies responded to a home in the 2700 block of Shoemaker Street in Grayson Valley about 4 p.m. on a domestic dispute. Once on the scene, a witness told deputies that the 30-year-old suspect and the woman who lived at the home were arguing. When the woman tried to leave, the man shot the front tire of her car.

The woman, also 30, left the scene on foot and called someone to come get her. There were no injuries.

As customary with any arrest, the sheriff's office declined to release the name until formal charges are filed. He was identified, however, through jail records. Blanding is expected to be charged with third-degree domestic violence and reckless endangerment.

"This officer's arrest is extremely disappointing for us and our profession,'' Birmingham police Chief A.C. Roper told AL.com. "He was taken out of service immediately as our Internal Affairs Division began an administrative investigation. He is actually facing departmental charges in addition to the criminal charges."
