NYPD lieutenant busted in jealous beat of girlfriend

- BY NOAH GOLDBERG

An NYPD lieutenant beat up his ex-girlfriend because he was jealous that she talked to other men at a party, a law enforcemen­t source told the Daily News.

Lt. Alexander Bobo was arrested Aug. 15 for punching the woman and ripping her hair extension out of her head in an incident on Clarkson Ave. near E. 91st St. in Brownsvill­e, Brooklyn, according to a criminal complaint. The woman suffered bleeding and bruising in the assault, the source said.

The attack began after a party that Bobo (photo) attended with the woman, whom he had dated for four years. They had renewed their relationsh­ip in the past two months, the source told The News.

Bobo didn’t appreciate that the woman had been speaking with other men that night and blew a fuse, the source said.

He grabbed the woman’s phone and tossed it out the window of his car, according to a criminal complaint.

Then, Bobo began punching her, prosecutor­s said.

He grabbed the woman’s attached ponytail and ripped it out of her head and threw it, according to the source.

His victim began crying out for help, but Bobo closed the window to the car so she couldn’t be heard, the complaint says.

Bobo was sued in 2012 for allegedly assaulting another woman in Brooklyn who was looking for a phone that she believed her mother had left in a store. Bobo threw the woman against a wall for no reason, according to the lawsuit.

When the woman yelled out for her mother, Bobo and another officer told her “if she called out for her mother again, she would be hit again,” the suit claims.

“Shut the f—k up and stop talking,” Bobo said to the woman at one point, the suit says. He also referred to the woman and her mother as “nasty, stink, Black dirty b—-es,” the suit says.

The suit was settled for $20,000 in 2013.

The 12-year vet of the police force was suspended without pay following his recent arrest. The law enforcemen­t source added that the cops were once called on Bobo and the woman in Philadelph­ia due to a domestic dispute, but did not provide the details on the incident.

“The allegation­s are completely false and once all the facts come to light he will be fully vindicated,” said defense attorney Cary London, who represents Bobo.
