Cop Arrested for His Violent Behavior to be Reinstated Despite the Department Not Wanting Him

Des Moines, IA– Former Des Moines officer Cody Grimes, who was fired in 2013, is likely returning to the police force against the department’s wishes due to an expected order from the city’s civil service commission.

Grimes was fired after he was arrested for domestic abuse after allegedly beating and choking his ex girlfriend as they were in the process of breaking up.  The officer was not arrested until three days after the assault despite police reports indicating the woman had sustained injuries.
The woman alleges she was pressured by the police and prosecutors not to press domestic abuse charges, and Grimes ended up pleading guilty to criminal mischief charges.

“There was a couple people who kept calling me and harassing me, saying we need your story again. Every single day they would call me and the Polk County Attorney said, ‘you know, we can go to trial but he pretty much persuaded me that if we go to trial and one person (on the jury) doesn’t agree to it then everything’s dropped,’” the woman being referred to as only Alexandria told WHOtv. “I felt that no one was on my side. That no one was on my back. and I knew I had enough evidence but they were pushing me to not go forth with it.”

Sadly, this woman fears Grimes so badly she had to move thousands of miles away, afraid that he would retaliate and hurt her again.

“He’s dangerous. He’s a liability. And he’s gonna end up really hurting somebody.”

When asked by WHOtv if she believes Grimes is going to kill someone, the woman replied, “I do. Maybe not today, maybe not tomorrow, but soon enough.”

This was not the man’s first time showing his tendencies towards violence.
