An Arizona Department of Corrections officer is accused of sexually assaulting a woman in his home.

An Arizona Department of Corrections officer has resigned following his arrest for allegedly sexually assaulting a woman in his home.

Department spokesman Doug Nick said Friday that 25-year-old Morgan Lichaczewski resigned prior to his arrest.

Pinal County Sheriff's deputies took Lichaczewski into custody Wednesday.

The Sheriff's Office says Lichaczewski and his fiancee hosted a baby shower and birthday party for Lichaczewski on Oct. 26 that included heavy drinking.

The 27-year-old victim told authorities Lichaczewski attempted to sexually assault her while she was sleeping on a couch.

Lichaczewski allegedly then walked into a bedroom where a couple was sleeping and attempted to remove a second woman's clothing.

The victim woke up and Lichaczewski left the room.

Sheriff Paul Babeu says deputies were called and have been investigating the incident since.
