JACKSONVILLE, Fla. — A sailor stationed at Naval Station Mayport is facing domestic battery charges after an incident at the DoubleTree hotel Saturday led to the man's arrest, according to the Jacksonville Sheriff's Office.

Kyle Rogemoser, 36, is facing domestic battery charges after the incident at DoubleTree.

Rogemoser was detained and read his Miranda Rights, which he stated he did not understand, according to the report. 

Officers noted that Rogemoser was "extremely intoxicated."

The victim told police her and Rogemoser arrived at the hotel earlier that evening and shared an alcoholic drink. The pair were at the hotel for a celebratory dinner for the suspect's promotion to "Chief in the Navy," and were planning on spending the night at the hotel, an arrest report says. 

While in their hotel room, the victim said her and Rogemoser got into a verbal argument. 

Much of the incident is redacted after this argument. 

The report says the victim then started to call for help, and Johnson came into the room and picked her up and took her downstairs to management to call police. 

Rogemoser is facing domestic battery charges following the incident. He is currently being held in Duval County Jail on a $5,000 bond. 

First Coast News confirmed Rogemoser started working at Mayport on April, 29, 2022.

He was previously stationed on USS Leyte Gulf in Norfolk, Virginia.
