ABC 33/40 - Birmingham News, Weather, SportsTuscaloosa Police Sgt. arrested

A Tuscaloosa police sargent has been arrested on a charge of domestic violence.

Sargent-Robert Fourt is a supervisor in the patrol division.

Officers were called to his home in Woodland Hills earlier this week after his wife reported him -- "intoxicated and out of control."

Since then, she's filed a -protection from abuse- on Fourt once he gets out of jail.

She states Fourt "set a fire in the garage, burned her jewelry, shot a bullet through her clothing, wrecked the house and threatened to kill her."

Fourt will spend 12-hours in jail...

He faces third-degree Criminal Mischief and has been placed on administrative leave from the police department.
