BRISTOL, Vt. (AP) — A former Vermont police officer has been charged with felony lewd and lascivious conduct with a child.
Vermont State Police say 51-year-old Arthur Cyr, of Bristol, was cited Wednesday.
Authorities say their investigation into Cyr began Dec. 18 after a referral from the Chittenden Unit for Special Investigations that he once directed.
Police say the girl told investigators Cyr touched her inappropriately on Dec. 31, 2016 at a home in Bristol.
Cyr spent years as a lieutenant with Burlington Police before his retirement. He currently works for the Department of Disabilities, Aging and Independent Living.
He is due in court Jan. 28.
