Crawford officer arrested amid allegations of indecency with a child By OLIVIA MESSER omesser@wacotrib.com 
A Crawford police officer was arrested Tuesday afternoon by Texas Rangers after an investigation determined he may have had inappropriate sexual contact with a minor, an affidavit states.
Officer William “Bill” Byrom, 28, was arrested on a warrant alleging indecency with a child sexual contact with a juvenile under the age of 17.
The affidavit states Crawford police Chief Clayton Bruton began investigating the alleged incidents on his own, including an interview with the victim, before asking the Texas Rangers to step in Friday.
It is unclear what prompted Bruton to look into the allegations or when they surfaced.
Mayor Brent Meyer said he was informed of the investigation Oct. 22, and Byrom was put on paid leave the next day.
According to the affidavit, Byrom admitted during an interview with a Ranger that he had placed his hands under the victim’s shirt at least once.
The victim underwent forensic interviews at the Waco Child Advocacy Center, and she said such incidents occurred at least four or five times from 2013 through September 2014, the document shows.
Meyer said a decision about Byrom’s employment will be made at a city council executive session at 6:30 p.m. Tuesday.
Byrom was released from McLennan County Jail on a $20,000 bond Tuesday evening
