A Minneapolis police officer is expected to be charged Monday with committing a sex crime in Bloomington.

David Edward Campbell, 59, was arrested about 6 p.m. Friday as he left the La Quinta Inn on Nicollet Avenue near Interstate 494, Bloomington police said.

Campbell remains in the Hennepin County jail on suspicion of third-degree criminal sexual conduct. Authorities have not disclosed details of the allegation, including the presumed victim's gender or age.

"We are not releasing any details regarding the age or sex of the victim because the investigation is ongoing and he has not been formally charged," Bloomington Deputy Police Chief Mike Hartley said Sunday. "I expect that to come Monday."

Minneapolis Police Department spokeswoman Sgt. Catherine Michal said Sunday evening that Campbell is on administrative leave "pending further information from the Bloomington PD."
