On 7/18/13, the Bates County Sheriff’s Office was dispatched to the area of CR2002 and CR9001 in reference to a home invasion and attempted rape.
The female caller
stated that she was in the shower when she heard someone tell her to get out of
the shower. Thinking that it was her boyfriend she exited the shower to find an
unknown male dressed in blue jeans and black shirt, black gloves with a black ski
mask on. She reported that he threw her
on the bed and attempted to rape her.
The female was
able to call for her dog and it came into the room. The dog was able to distract the male allowing
the victim to get shotgun. The male fled
out the back door in an unknown direction.
The female victim then called her boyfriend who then called the
Sheriff’s Office. No signs of forced
entry were found at the house.
The male
described as a white male 6 foot tall, with fairly small build, approximate
weight is 160lbs. No vehicle information
can be provided.
The victim was
taken by family to seek medical treatment.
K9 was called to
the scene and no scent was able to be located.
Area canvasses to notify the neighbors are being performed and will be
conducted through the night.
