Stoppers Crime of the
Week - June 28th, 2008
 Hi,
I'm Officer Paula Morrow, Crime Stoppers' Coordinator
for Sangamon and Menard Counties.
This week Crime Stoppers is seeking information on
an aggravated battery and an Attempt sexual assault
that occurred on Sunday, June 22nd at 6:40 am on the
Wabash Trail.
A female victim was walking on the trail when she noticed
a male subject following closely behind her. The suspect
had undone his pants and was holding a knife. He made
statements to the victim and when she refused, he attempted
to stab her with the knife. A struggle between the victim
and the attacker ensued, and the victim was knocked
to the ground. The attacker attempted to pull off her
shirt and bra, but she continued to fight off the attacker.
The victim was able to call 911 on her cell phone and
the suspect ran away on foot. The victim did suffer
several cuts on her hand and fingers. The suspect is
described as a Hispanic male, mid to late teens, approximately
5'6" who was wearing a long sleeve brown shirt
and loose fitting jeans at the time of the attack.
If you have information on this crime, you can remain
completely anonymous by calling Crime Stoppers at 217-788-8427
[1-800-397-2288], submitting
a tip via the internet or use
a cell phone to send a tip. You could get a cash
