LAFAYETTE, Tenn. — The former police chief for Lafayette has been arrested after an investigation into allegations that he assaulted a prisoner.

According to the Tennessee Bureau of Investigation, Ray Amalfitano is accused of assaulting Keith Pippin on March 22 while Pippin was handcuffed in the back of a patrol car.

The TBI began investigating in July at the request of District Attorney General Tommy Thompson.

Amalfitano resigned his position effective Sept. 21 but has since started working as a police officer with the City of Westmoreland.

Amalfitano was arrested Tuesday and then released from the Macon County Jail on his own recognizance. His initial appearance is Oct. 12.

Amalfitano was not listed in the phone directory, and TBI officials did not know whether he had an attorney.
