Authorities said Saturday that they have arrested a California Highway Patrol sergeant on suspicion of committing a lewd act with a young girl.
Sgt. Wayne Robert Alger, 36, of Roseville, was under investigation for two weeks before his arrest, said Rocklin Police Department spokesman Lt. Lon Milka.
Milka said the victim is younger than 14 and that Rocklin police arrested the CHP sergeant after the girl's family contacted them.
Alger works the CHP's Capitol Protection Section, which provides law enforcement for state buildings in Sacramento.
According to Placer County documents, Alger was taken into custody Friday and later released on $50,000 bail.
CHP Capt. Bob Ghiglieri, Alger's commander, said Saturday that the alleged incident occurred when Alger was off duty and was not job-related. He said Alger has been put on administrative leave, pending the conclusion of the Rocklin Police Department's investigation.
