Greensboro Police Officer Arrested in Surry County

GREENSBORO, NC (August 13, 2012) At about 4pm today, Officer TL Eastridge Jr. turned

himself in at the Surry County Sheriffs Office after learning that a warrant was issued for his

arrest for an alleged assault upon his wife at their home in Surry County.

Eastridge faces one count of assault on a female. The criminal charge against him will

be processed through the Surry County court system.

determine if the employee violated any of our conduct rules. sUntil his case is adjudicated,

Eastridge will be placed on administrative duties with no law enforcement responsibilities.

February 16, 2005 and currently holds the rank of Police Officer II. Until this event, he was

assigned to the Tactical Narcotics Team, the uniformed operational unit of the Vice and
