MONROE — Monroe police are looking for help in finding a rape suspect who pulled a woman from her car by the hair and assaulted her in a motel parking lot.

The 37-year-old victim told detectives she was sitting in the rear lot of the Parkside Inn, 5853 Ohio 4, at about 8 p.m. Thursday, Oct. 29, talking on her cell phone when a man opened the driver’s side door and pulled her out by her hair, according to the police report.

The man then punched the victim in the face and shoved her to the ground, scratching her and ripping off her panty hose. The woman called police minutes after the rape from her mother’s home and was taken to Atrium Medical Center for an examination and treatment.

“This is a real violent assault,” said Monroe police Detective Ken Parson. “Any help we could get would be most appreciated.”

Wednesday morning, Nov. 4, Parson released a composite sketch of the suspect. He is described as white, 25 to 35 years old, with a medium build, medium height with dark eyes, weighing 175 to 200 pounds.

Anyone with any information about the suspect or who may have seen any suspicious vehicles or people in the area are asked to call Monroe police at (513)-539-9234.
