Ray McDonald domestic violence investigation is reportedly complicated by the presence of a San Jose Police Officer moonlighting for the 49ers. According to sanfrancisco.cbslocal.com, Sgt. Sean Pritchard, who was assigned to the gang-suppression unit and a member of the 49ers security, was the first police officer on the scene at the home of player Ray McDonald the night he was arrested for alleged domestic violence on his girlfriend.

Mercury News reported that Pritchard's presence at McDonald's home complicated the police investigation. A source said it was one reason it took a month to forward the case to District Attorney Jeff Rosen's office.

Reportedly, Assistant Chief Eddie Garcia told the newspaper that the SJPD veteran has been barred from any further work for the team pending an Internal Affairs inquiry into why Pritchard was present for the Aug. 31 police response that ended with McDonald's arrest.

"We suspended him working for that company because of that (public) trust," Garcia said. "We hold all our officers to a very high standard. We're getting all the facts as to why that individual officer was there. I certainly feel and have the utmost confidence that we would be able to investigate any situation without there being a conflict of interest."

Meanwhile, the other officers can continue working for the 49ers as the department evaluates the off-duty work rules.

"If we find out something during the course of the investigation, there may come a time when we don't allow officers to work for the 49ers organization," Garcia said.

Reportedly, the 49ers issued a general statement regarding employing off-duty San Jose officers.

"The 49ers work with various security firms to protect the stadium, its visitors and our employees," the statement read. "Like most security firms, the firms we partner with hire off-duty and retired police officers for their expertise and experience."
