A Dallas man was arrested last week after police say he parked illegally near Trinity Groves and then introduced the arresting officer to his 15-year-old wife.

Jose Nahun Lopez-Cruz, 24, assured the cop, "It's OK, she is gonna be 16 soon," police records say.

It wasn't OK, and Lopez-Cruz was booked Sunday into the Dallas County jail, charged with sexual assault of a child.

The officer first spotted Lopez-Cruz and the girl as they got into a Toyota Camry parked in a handicap spot in the 3100 block of Gulden Lane.

When the cop asked Lopez-Cruz why he'd parked there even though he wasn't disabled, the man said he didn't know it was a handicap spot.

Next the officer asked about an open can of alcohol in the center console, and Lopez-Cruz said it belonged to the girl. However, a baggy of marijuana also found in the console belonged to Lopez-Cruz, the teenager told police.

Under further questioning with a translator present, the girl told investigators that she and Lopez-Cruz were dating and had been living together for two months, having sex on a daily basis, according to his arrest-warrant affidavit.

Lopez was charged with the sex crime and drug possession. He's also suspected of being in the country illegally.

He remains in the Dallas County Jail with bail set at $25,500.
