BRIDGEPORT -- Probate Judge Paul J. Ganim was arrested Friday afternoon on domestic violence charges.

Ganim, 44, of Gilman Street, was charged with risk of injury to a minor and breach of peace. Arrested at his home without incident, he was released after posting $15,000 bond pending arraignment in Superior Court.

The charges were filed after Ganim became embroiled in an argument with his wife in front of several of the couple's five children at home, according to police Detective Keith Bryant, the department spokesman.

Ganim's wife Corrine, 43, then filed a complaint against the probate judge with police.

Ganim, who declined comment, is serving his second term in the $100,000-a-year elected judgeship.

Ganim's older brother, Joseph, served several terms as Bridgeport mayor until his 2003 conviction on federal corruption charges. He was sentenced to a nine-year prison term.
