Police say the 35-year-old suspect is also responsible for stealing a Marion Community Schools bus found at the scene of the attempted rape.
The 35-year-old suspect is now facing a total of 17 charges stemming from the encounter, which ended when a police K-9 helped subdue him, according to a news release from the Marion Police Department.
It all started about 3:46 a.m. when police received a call from someone in distress, later identified as the teen victim. When she called 911, dispatchers heard her screaming for help with a male's voice in the background. The officer later caught up to the man, who then physically resisted and struck the officer"multiple times" in the face, according to the release.
Another responding officer and a K-9 later caught up to them and were able to apprehend the man. He was placed in handcuffs and taken to a local hospital to be checked, all the while still resisting, according to police.
