LITTLE SILVER – A police officer was issued a summons related to a domestic violence incident, according to the Monmouth County Prosecutor's Office.

Little Silver police officer Joseph Glynn Jr., 26, of Middletown, was charged in connection with an alleged domestic violence incident said to have occurred Thursday night in Sea Bright, said Charlie Webster, spokesman for the prosecutor's office. The alleged incident is said to have stemmed from a physical altercation.

Glynn Jr., a patrolman, has served on the police force since 2010. His father is Sgt. Joseph W. Glynn, a veteran on the Middletown Police Department.

Webster said someone who knew the victim reported the incident to the Middletown Police Department the next day.

The identity of the victim was not released. The details of the incident and what led to the altercation are not known at this time.

Glynn Jr. will have to appear before Middletown Municipal Court to respond to the charges, Webster said.

Someone charged with a disorderly persons offense can be sentenced to up to six months in a county jail, according to the New Jersey Courts website.

The Little Silver Police Department said Glynn has been placed on modified duty and has voluntarily surrendered his weapon.
