CHATTANOOGA, Tenn. – On March 19, 2025, the Chattanooga Police Department
opened an internal investigation into an officer assigned to the
Neighborhood Policing Bureau who is charged with Simple Assault/Domestic
Violence.
CPD Internal Affairs opened the investigation after CPD’s Neighborhood
Policing Officers responded to an Assault in Progress call at a location in
the 3100 block of Mountain Creek Rd. Once on scene and having determined
the relationship between the two parties, CPD’s Special Victims Unit was
called to take over the investigation.
The preliminary investigation indicates that CPD Officer Chance Kuban and
the victim were involved in an ongoing verbal argument that began during
the night, during which Kuban damaged property and personal items.
Mr. Kuban was arrested and charged with Simple Assault/DV, Interfering with
911 call, and Vandalism. He was transported to the Hamilton County Jail and
placed on administrative leave, pending the outcome of the investigation.
