Sheriff’s deputy arrested, fired after domestic violence charge

NEW HANOVER COUNTY, NC (WWAY) — For the second time in two weeks a New Hanover County Sheriff’s deputy is out of a job after being arrested. Pender County deputies arrested New Hanover Deputy Mitchell Marlow yesterday. He is charged with two counts of assault on a female and held with no bond.

Sheriff Ed McMahon fired Marlow after the arrest.

“The facts as presented to me indicated domestic violence along with alcohol consumption,” McMahon said in a statement.

Last month, another New Hanover deputy quit after being arrested for DWI in Johnston County.
