INDIANAPOLIS (WISH) — An Indianapolis Metropolitan Police Department officer has been arrested for official misconduct and harassment following an investigation.
On Tuesday, June 24, IMPD North District received an email from the officer’s former spouse with concerns about the behavior of IMPD Officer Nicholas Cauley. IMPD North District referred the allegations to the IMPD Special Investigations Unit (SIU) to investigate.
Based on court documents, SIU detectives found that Cauley repeatedly contacted his former spouse despite her numerous requests for Cauley to stop. Detectives also learned that while on duty and operating a police vehicle, Cauley drove to his former spouse’s place of employment. At one point, Cauley used his law enforcement authority to look up his former spouse’s license plate information.
On Friday, IMPD Violent Crimes Unit detectives arrested Cauley, who was preliminarily charged with two counts of official misconduct and harassment. He was taken to the Adult Detention Center for booking.
“The trust our community places in us is built on accountability and integrity,” said IMPD Chief Chris Bailey. “When any officer violates that trust, it’s our duty to act quickly and transparently. We are committed to working closely with the prosecutor to ensure this case is investigated appropriately.”
