A Springfield police officer is being suspended after a reported off-duty incident. Dushaine Goffe was put on paid leave on Tuesday.
Goffe allegedly choked a woman at a Northampton bar and caused damage to her car in front of an apartment complex in the city, according to Northampton police reports.
Springfield Mayor Domenic Sarno has released a statement that Goffe should be terminated if the charges against him, which include assault and battery with a dangerous weapon, are proven to be true.
