ARLINGTON, Va. – The Arlington County Police Department has arrested and charged an Arlington County police officer for off-duty conduct following an assault investigation. Vincent Baglio, 31, of Arlington, Va. was arrested and charged with Malicious Wounding.
The alleged incident occurred on May 24, 2026, while the suspect was off-duty, and was reported to police on June 30, 2026. The investigation determined that the suspect and victim, who are known to each other, were inside a residence. During a conversation, the suspect allegedly physically assaulted the victim and made statements threatening harm to them.
“I want to assure our community that the serious criminal allegations in this case represent conduct that is wholly unacceptable and fundamentally inconsistent with the values, standards and responsibilities of our agency. Such actions are in direct contradiction to the oath we take and the professional expectations we place on every law enforcement officer,” said Chief Andy Penn. “We are committed to maintaining the highest standards of accountability, integrity and transparency. To preserve public trust and ensure a thorough review of all facts, we will conduct a comprehensive criminal investigation as well as an internal administrative investigation. We remain steadfast in our commitment to holding ourselves accountable and taking appropriate action based on the findings of those investigations.”
Vincent Baglio was hired by the Arlington County Police Department in June 2024. He has been placed on administrative leave pending the outcome of the criminal and internal administrative investigations.
