MAGNOLIA, Texas (KTRK) -- A former Magnolia police officer accused of sexually assaulting a child quit his job and surrendered his peace officer's license amid an unrelated criminal investigation.

Brandon Muse, 44, was arrested in Minden, Louisiana, on Tuesday after investigators say he sexually assaulted a 14-year-old girl in Montgomery County three years ago.

The alleged crime took place long after Muse had left the Magnolia Police Department.
