No Arrests In State Line Home Invasion, Sexual Assault
March 15, 2010
The search is continuing for the suspect in a February 18 home invasion and sexual assault near the Alabama-Florida state line, and authorities are asking for the public’s help in solving the crime.
The incident was reported about 8:45 a.m. on Old Atmore Road just west of Tulip Street in Flomaton. A 40-year old female told Flomaton Police that a “husky” or “stocky” male, about 6-foot tall entered her trailer and sexually assaulted her. The victim told police that the suspect did not speak during the attack. She was transported by ambulance to Jay Hospital for evaluation.
The victim did not know the race of her attacker. She described him as being dressed in all black and wearing a mask, according to Flomaton Police Chief Terri Tolbert. The victim did not know if the suspect fled on foot or in a vehicle. Tracking dogs from Century Correctional Institution and Fountain Prison in Atmore were called to the scene, but they were unable to locate the suspect.
Tolbert said the victim believed that the attacker entered the home through an unlocked front door.
The incident is still under investigation by the Flomaton Police Department. The Escambia County (Ala.) Sheriff’s Department and the Escambia County (Fla.) Sheriff’s Office also assisted in the investigation.
Anyone with information on the attack is asked to contact the Flomaton Police Department at (251) 296-5811 or their local law enforcement agency.

molinojim…* “a good target for the dogs would be his “manhood”. Of course a person who would do this isn’t a man—just garbage”*
I strongly agree… I just hope the authorities don’t give up with this case…
Angi–Once again you and I are on the same page. I wish the dogs could have tracked him and the handlers been forced to release the dogs on him. I’ve seen some of the dogs go in low and bite big time—a good target for the dogs would be his “manhood”. Of course a person who would do this isn’t a man—just garbage.
I am so glad to know that they haven’t given up on this search, I really do hope that they find this man. This is a terrible thing that he has done to this poor innocent woman, she nor anyone else deserves this kind of horror to happen to them. Bless her and her family, you’re in my thoughts and prayers…♥
