and attacked a 17 year old girl in her bedroom. The male
entered the home around 4:30 am on Sunday June 29th

way to the 2nd floor bedroom where he entered the
room of sleeping 17 year old female. She awakened when she felt
the man’s hand on her. The male reportedly stated “don’t
scream…. You don’t want your family to die”. When she
asked what he wanted, the man said, “I want you.” The suspect
then attempted to stuff a sock in her mouth but she was able to
bite him and grabbed his hair and face before he punched her
several times in the head. The struggle ended up on the
bedroom floor before the man ran down the stairs, through the
kitchen and out the glass doors he came in through. The suspect
is described as a white male, approx 5’10” between 17 & 20 years
of age. Officers immediately called for a K-9 unit
