Ruston Police arrested a local man Sunday after investigating a report of an case of sexual assault.
Sincere Campbell, 18, of McDonald Avenue, Ruston, was booked Sunday night after officers responded to an apartment where a juvenile reported the suspect lived nearby. Campbell was taken to the Ruston Police Department where he was questioned.
During questioning, Campbell identified his bedsheets as light blue in color, the same description given by the reported victim.
According to an officer’s report, Campbell said he had been sleeping most of the day. He said he got up about 8:00 p.m. but had seen no one. The time matched the juvenile’s statement as to the time of the incident.
Campbell could not give an explanation other than he did not do anything with the victim. He was booked at the Lincoln Parish Detention Center for felony carnal knowledge of a juvenile. After additional investigation by RPD, charges of second degree kidnapping and second degree rape were added.
Bail was set at $225,000.
