PITTSBURGH — A Pittsburgh police officer has been charged with simple assault in the beating of her husband, according to court documents.

Lynn Devault, 55, of Brookline showed up at the Republic Street home where her husband, George Devault, is living at about 9:30 p.m. Friday, according a police affidavit filed to support the charge.

The two struggled as Lynn Devault searched for a computer and a cell phone belonging to George Devault, who also is a city police officer.

The documents state that the Devaults are having marital problems. George Devault, who showed visible injuries after the dispute, lives in his mother's home in the South Side.

Police charged Lynn Devault after they determined that she was the primary aggressor, the document stated. She was being held Saturday in the Allegheny County Jail.
