Brickbat: Follow You Home
An Arlington police officer has been arrested for allegedly sexually assaulting a woman he met while responding to a call. Officer Derreck Dean reportedly returned to the woman's home multiple times while on duty without any calls for service, covering his body camera during these visits. He now faces charges including sexual assault and oppression, and the police department is investigating potential additional misconduct cases.
