A misdemeanor domestic violence charge filed against a Dayton police officer by West Milton police was dismissed Tuesday in Miami County Municipal Court.

Police said they were called to a residence and told that a person who was joking with Lindsey said he got mad and damaged property.

The charge was dismissed without costs by Judge Gary Nasal. The court file included a letter from Lindsey’s alleged accuser would not testify and wanted the charge dismissed. A civil protection order sought at the time of the incident later was dismissed.
