Muldrow Police Department responded Oct. 27 to what they believed to be domestic abuse but when they arrived they discovered an alleged rape victim.
Alan Louis Crawford, 21, of Muldrow was charged Nov. 4 with first-degree rape and forcible sodomy in the Sequoyah County District Court, Sallisaw.
On Oct. 27 officer Robert Allen of the Muldrow Police Department arrived at Gardenwalk Apartments in Muldrow at 4:12 a.m. Allen went upstairs and spoke with a woman that was visibly distraught according to the police report.
“She initially told me she couldn’t tell me,” Allen reported. “I kept questioning her and eventually told me she had been raped.”
Allen said the woman curled up into a ball and started crying. The woman told the officer that Crawford grabbed her hair and pulled her into his apartment, locked the door behind them and forcibly threw her on his bed.
Crawford was released from the Sequoyah County Jail Wednesday on a $50,000 bond.
