MIAMI – A week following the arrest of Opa-locka police officer Johane Taylor, Jr., on multiple charges, CBS News Miami obtained his arrest warrant.
It describes his alleged years-long affair and domestic abuse.
In the warrant, the victim told investigators she met Taylor in 2018 when she was an out-of-state college student visiting family in Miami.
The warrant says that the two began a romantic relationship shortly after and moved in together in 2021 in Opa-locka.
In June 2022, the victim told investigators she planned to leave Florida to go to college. The warrant says after Taylor found out, he “got upset and threw her to their couch and began hitting her with a closed fist to her face. The victim sustained visible injuries from this incident and took photographs to document her injuries.”
Later that year, the warrant says the victim and Taylor were out to dinner in November. During the meal, the warrant says she spoke to a male classmate at the restaurant. It goes on to say after they left dinner to head home, “the suspect struck the victim in the face with a closed fist while in their vehicle.”
