HARRISBURG, Pa. — A 33-year-old Harrisburg Police officer pleaded guilty in York County to a summary charge of harassment stemming from a domestic incident involving another police officer, court documents show.
Chad McGowan, 33, pleaded guilty to the citation on Feb. 14, according to records.
The charge comes from a Nov. 17 domestic incident in Conewago Township.
According to criminal complaint affidavits, McGowan grabbed the other officer, whom he had been involved with romantically, by the neck. He then pushed the woman into a door, causing her to hit her head.
Court records say McGowan was originally cited for harassment on Dec. 3, 2017, and pleaded not guilty. But the charge was dropped by the York County District Attorney's Office, which wanted to perform its own investigation of the incident.
Once the new investigation was completed, the DA's office filed the same summary charge on Feb. 4. McGowan pleaded guilty.
