AUSTIN (KXAN) — An Austin police sergeant has been suspended indefinitely Friday for multiple acts of alleged misconduct.

Internal investigators believe Sgt. Marci Laczko took a 17-year-old friend of the family on a trip to visit a college campus, without the permission of the girl’s parents.

A memo goes on to say Sgt. Laczko and the teen visited a university to try to convince her not to go to school in West Texas.
