A Baltimore police officer has been arrested following an investigation into an on-duty sexual assault.
Authorities identified the officer as Daniel Oxendine.
On August 27, Oxendine was taken into custody.
The arrest followed a months-long investigation conducted by the Harford County Sheriff’s Office.
That investigation began on June 3.
On that date, a woman reported to law enforcement that she had been sexually assaulted.
Authorities learned that Oxendine had encountered the woman while working in Baltimore City.
He had encountered her while responding to an unrelated call.
The woman reportedly needed transportation back to her home in Edgewood.
She asked the officer for a ride.
Oxendine’s supervisor allegedly gave him permission to drive her home.
But investigators say what happened after they arrived was anything but the safe ride home she had requested.
According to authorities, Oxendine allegedly entered the woman’s apartment.

He faces two counts of second-degree rape.
Authorities also charged him with two counts involving a law enforcement officer engaging in a sexual act with a victim or witness.

Oxendine is also charged with misconduct in office.
His police powers had already been suspended prior to his arrest.
