An off-duty South Bend Police officer suffered injuries when an acquaintance punched him for allegedly kissing the acquaintance’s wife.

The suspect, Kyle Briney, is a superintendent with the city’s street department.

The victim was at Briney’s home, Saturday, watching the Notre Dame game when he went with Briney’s wife to the garage to get a drink.

I think he shouldn’t be charged. An officer kissing his wife? Na I’d beat the brakes off him too.
