According to the district attorney's office, in July 2021 Redmon subjected a female victim to physical contact by forcibly grabbing the back of her neck inside a restaurant on Hertel Avenue. In August 2021 Redmon also forced the same female victim into a bathroom and brandished what appeared to be a pistol while threatening her. THe DA said he was unlawfully inside the victim's home at the time of the incident.
Redmon, a Buffalo police officer who was off-duty at the time of both incidents, resigned from the Buffalo Police Department Tuesday.
An order of protection remains in place on behalf of the victim. Redmon faces a maximum of one year in jail and is scheduled to be sentenced on August 15. He continues to remain released on his own recognizance as the charges are non-qualifying offenses for bail.
