Sheriff’s Office needs help finding man wanted for sexual assault
MIDDLEBURG – The Florida Sheriff’s Association Criminal Apprehension Assistance Program is offering a $5,000 reward for information that can lead to the arrest for a man wanted for sexually assaulting a woman in her home on March 13.
Sheriff Michelle Cook identified the man as being 5-foot-10 with a red beard and wearing a black hoodie and shorts and black slide-style sandals.
“At approximately 6 a.m. deputies responded to the area of Blanding and Blairmore (boulevards). The victim, who we’re not going to identify, reported that a white male adult with a red beard illegally entered her residence and sexually assaulted her.
“After the assault, the suspect fled on foot. We saturated the area that morning. We conducted an exhaustive and extensive search, including using our police K-9s, but unfortunately, we’re not able to locate the suspect.”
The Clay County Sheriff’s Office asks that if you recognize the man or have any information to contact them at (904) 264-6512 or leave a tip at SaferWatch.com.
