A Dallas police officer was arrested this week and accused of sexually assaulting an underage girl who had come to his home for help. The age of the girl was not released.
Tyrone, 48, was booked into jail on Monday and released on a $25,000 bond. He has been placed on leave from the Dallas Police Department, where he has served since 2009, while an internal investigation takes place.
According to The Daily Beast, Tyrone is a family friend of the girl. An affidavit states that she went to his home in May after an argument with her father and was allowed to stay the night. The affidavit says the girl told investigators that Tyrone touched her inappropriately while she was there.
Police say the girl later told the mother of a friend what happened and was then picked up by authorities. The affidavit also states that Tyrone told officials she was a runaway.
Tyrone has not been convicted of any crime, and the reports did not include a statement from him. The department’s internal investigation is ongoing.
