Cop’s Wife Stands Down on Charges of Abuse
posted (May 21, 2019)
Brizenio Chub, a 32 year-old police officer is free tonight of a common assault charge after his wife went to court and withdrew her complaint against him. She initially reported to police that he beat her with his police baton and pepper sprayed her in the face.

30 year-old Reveira Teul reported to police several days ago that on May 11, 2019, at around 5:45 p.m., she was at home, when Chub, her common-law husband, arrived and appeared to be under the influence of alcohol. She said that she started to question him about where he had been, and that's when he left the living room and went their bed room. She reportedly followed him in there, and continued to question him where had been. According to Teul, he then jumped up out of the bed, grabbed his police baton, and clubbed her several times with it. Teul claims that the situation escalated even further when Chub then picked up his pepper spray, and sprayed her in the face with it.

Police arrested Chub and charged him with common assault, but when he arraigned before Senior Magistrate Tricia Pitts-Anderson yesterday, Teul, his common-law wife, took the stand and told the Magistrate that she no longer wants to proceed with court action against him. Chub also pleaded not guilty to the offense.

Before Senior Magistrate Anderson dismissed the charge, she asked Teul if she was threatened, promised anything or coerced into backing down as the complainant in this case.

She said that she was doing it of her own free will, and she added, quote, "The reason why I made the report was for future reference." End quote.

With that, the charge was withdrawn against Chub, but he still has to face disciplinary hearings from the police department's tribunal. He is also reportedly on interdiction with half pay at this time.
