AUSTIN (KXAN) — A Georgetown police officer was put on administrative leave after the department received a complaint alleging he engaged in “sexual activity” with a woman during a call for help, according to a news release from the city of Georgetown.
Dylan Wright was arrested Thursday and charged with a third-degree felony offense of misuse of official information, according to the city.
KXAN is working to find attorney information for Wright. Once that information is received, we will reach out for a statement on the accusations.
According to the city, the incident happened Aug. 1 while Wright was responding to a call “after the victim’s boyfriend was arrested for family violence.”
“The Georgetown Police Department recognizes the seriousness of the allegations made against Officer Wright and understands the community’s concern and expectation for transparency,” the city said. “We are committed to addressing this matter directly and providing accurate information as the investigation progresses.”
The incident is now under investigation by the Texas Rangers, the city said.
Anyone with information related to this case was asked to contact the city’s Professional Standards Division at 512-930-2517.
“The alleged actions described in this case are an egregious violation of the values of the Georgetown Police Department,” the city said. “We will continue to hold our employees accountable, uphold the law, and protect the trust placed in us by the community. As the investigation continues, and consistent with applicable law, further information will be released.”
