POMPANO BEACH, Fla. — A Broward Sheriff’s Office sergeant was placed back behind bars over the weekend following his fourth arrest in seven months.
BSO jail records show that Sgt. Scott Nelson Nida, 55, was arrested by deputies in Pompano Beach on Saturday. He’s accused of violating a domestic violence injunction.
Nida’s first arrest came in January after being accused of attacking his longtime partner over infidelity. The victim later waived prosecution and a no-contact order was dismissed. She told investigators she “felt coerced into dropping the charges” because Nida allegedly said he would “lose his job and pension.”
But Nida was arrested again in April after being accused of attacking his partner for a second time and stealing her vehicle. Records show those charges are still pending with a court hearing scheduled for July 30.
He was arrested one month later on a domestic violence injunction violation charge. A BSO report states that he allowed his girlfriend to live with him “because she and her daughter were forced out of their previous residence” and reached out to Nida “because they had no place to go.”
Court records show Broward prosecutors declined to pursue charges in that case.
It’s unclear what led to Nida’s latest arrest on a domestic violence injunction violation charge on Saturday.
Local 10 News has requested his latest arrest report and an update from BSO on his employment status.
As of Monday morning, Nida was being held in the BSO Main Jail pending a scheduled court appearance.
