WASHINGTON – An employee of the Transportation and Security Administration has been arrested for sexually assaulting a woman in his Manassas neighborhood after flashing his badge and while wearing his uniform.

Prince William County police were called to the 10500 block of Winfield Loop to investigate a sexual assault that had occurred early Sunday morning.

The victim, a 37-year-old woman, told police she and a friend were in their car when they were approached by an unknown man who was wearing a uniform and displayed a badge.
