17-year-old rape suspect turns self in
also reported by Steve Bennish
DAYTON - The 17-year-old suspected of raping a woman in front of her sister has turned himself into police this afternoon, March 9, police said.
Carlos Deonte Harris, accompanied by his mother, walked into the Juvenile Justice Center about 1:30 p.m. and surrendered to authorities, Sgt. Tom Flanders said.
Harris is accused of raping a woman at gunpoint and faces three felony counts of rape, two counts of kidnapping and two counts of robbery, Flanders said.
He has been at large more than five days since the alleged rape occurred. Flanders said detectives are interviewing Harris at police headquarters as of 3 p.m.
After the attack, police say Harris drove off in the woman’s SUV, which was later found abandoned. Flanders said both women were in their 20s.
Flanders said that Robert D. Murphy, 27, of Springfield, is no longer a suspect in the incident. Murphy had a relationship with one of the women in the crime. Murphy was taken into custody Thursday evening, but was later released.
The women were attacked on East Bruce Avenue after driving to that street early March 4 to meet up with Murphy.
When they arrived, a man carrying an automatic weapon, possibly an Uzi, jumped into their vehicle. He attempted to rob the two.
He then attacked and repeatedly raped the elder sister at gunpoint. He attempted to do the same to the younger sister but was talked out of it by the elder sister, Flanders said.
The attacker, later identified by police as Harris, then ordered both out of their vehicle and drove off.
Police had the vehicle in sight at one point, but the driver managed to elude them by driving dangerously through residential yards, Flanders said.
The vehicle, described as a tan/gold 2000 Oldsmobile Bravada SUV, was later found abandoned at West Fifth Street and Broadway.
All felony counts against Harris carry firearm specifications, as he was believed armed with a TEC-9 semi-auto or automatic weapon, Flanders said. Montgomery County Prosecutors have yet to decide whether to charge Harris as an adult, he added.
TweetBoys says mom slapped, bit him over peanut butter
DAYTON - A 36-year-old woman is in the Montgomery County Jail on a child endangering charge after her son told officers she repeatedly slapped him and bit him over peanut butter, according to a police report.
Officers responded to the 100 block of Kastner Avenue about 6:20 p.m. Monday, March 8, where they found an 11-year-old boy with redness on his face and back, the report stated. The boy said he was watching his 1-year-old niece and gave her peanut butter to eat.
The toddler got peanut butter on her face, so the boy woke his mother, Traci Shackleford, because he didn’t want to watch his niece anymore, the report stated.
The boy said Shackleford slapped him several times, knocking him down and then bit him on the back. The boy’s father arrived and said Shackleford has been “abusing pills,” the report stated.
Shackleford told police her son would not listen when asked to help clean up the peanut butter, the report stated. Shackleford said her son also cussed at her.
Children’s Services was called to the scene, but the boy was released to his father, authorities said.
TweetTeen arrested in connection with marijuana found at school
DAYTON - A teenager attending Thurgood Marshall High School faces expulsion and a felony drug trafficking charge in connection with nearly eight grams of marijuana found by school officials Monday, March 8.
Officers responded to 4447 Hoover Ave. about 11:20 a.m. after school officials said they found the juvenile carrying marijuana, according to a police report.
The boy admitted he sold the marijuana to make extra money, but claimed he never sold it on school property, the report stated.
The teen’s mother was called and said her son had a “good roof over his head” and she recently gave him $500 to spend on clothes and other things, the report stated.
The teen would not tell officers where he got the marijuana. He was released to his mother, but was issued a summons to appear in juvenile court, the report stated.
