Authorities say a CHP officer inappropriately touched a disabled 22-year-old man while in a restroom at Arden Fair Mall.

The 22-year-old man reported the incident and the Sacramento Police Department used mall security footage to investigate, according to a press release. Police identified Closson as a suspect, and the CHP opened an internal investigation, the press release states.
A warrant was issued for Closson's arrest Friday, and Sacramento Police arrested him on misdemeanor charges of sexual battery and disorderly conduct: loitering at a public toilet.
