An off-duty Lompoc Police Officer was arrested this past weekend on domestic violence charges, according to the Santa Barbara County Sheriff's Office.
Deputies said 29-year-old Matthew Lee Hill was booked into the County Jail for violating section 273.5 of the California Penal Code. He was released the same day after posting $25,000 bail.
Hill was taken into custody Sunday morning at his home in Vandenberg Village after deputies responded to a domestic disturbance call.
"As a result of their investigation, the deputies determined that domestic violence had occurred and arrested Hill for assaulting his girlfriend during a fight inside the residence," spokeswoman Kelly Hoover said in a press statement.
