Jerome Agulto Reyes, a police officer facing charges he beat up his girlfriend, pleaded not guilty yesterday in Superior Court.

Reyes, who appeared with counsel Edward Arriola Sr., is facing two counts of assault and battery and two counts of disturbing the peace.

On Thursday, associate judge Perry B. Inos allowed Reyes to post bail—$1,000 cash and $9,000 unsecured bond.

Inos allowed former police commissioner Santiago F. Tudela and Dolores Reyes Drew to be the defendant’s third party custodians. Tudela and Drew are the biological parents of Reyes.

A detective stated in his report that Reyes beat up the girlfriend in the presence of her 9-year-old daughter at their apartment last Aug. 13.
