Police Officer Arrested In Arlington Woman's Bed

ARLINGTON, Va. (WUSA) -- Over the weekend, Arlington Police arrested a man -- who turned out to be a U.S. Capitol Police officer -- who was apparently 'sleeping it off' in a woman's bed. Police say the woman didn't know him and didn't know how he got into her apartment.

Police say it was about 1:00 a.m. Sunday, when Arlington police officers were called to the 1000 block of North Randolph Street - for what was reported as an unknown person inside the residence.

Police say the woman came home to find an strange man asleep in her bed -- and he was not someone that the woman or her roommate knew. Police say the man was intoxicated.

Thomas Patrick McMahon, 34, of Reston. was charged with unlawful entry.

A spokeswoman with the U.S. Capitol Police told 9NEWS NOW that he had been placed on administrative leave pending the outcome of the criminal investigation in Arlington, and that the incident would also be the subject of a U.S. Capitol police internal affairs investigation.
