Long Beach police Thursday announced the May 13 arrest of a music teacher on suspicion of lewd and lascivious acts with a minor.

On May 12, officers were dispatched to the area of Fourth Street and Ximeno Avenue after a girl said she was “inappropriately touched” by a man earlier that day, according to a press release.

The next day, detectives arrested 55-year-old Bryan Scott of Lynwood, who provides in-home music lessons, the department said.
