Deputies arrested a man accused of violently kidnapping and raping a 65-year-old woman while she was waiting at a bus stop in Collier County.
Dennis Booth, 35, is facing multiple charges after being arrested on Thursday.
On Wednesday, Oct. 16, CCSO received reports of a woman being attacked from behind and being sexually assaulted.
Detectives say the 65-year-old woman ended up in the hospital before a deputy met with her there. They say she had visible injuries on her face, arms and ankle.
The victim says she was sitting alone on a chair outside of the Public Storage on Airport Road S, charging her cell phone, when a man grabbed her from behind, knocking her out of her seat.
The man then reportedly covered her face and told the victim to go by another building because he had "already set it up."
The victim says she was taken to a truck behind Universal Transmissions that was parked against a fence before being sexually assaulted on the driver's side.
According to reports, the man pulled the victim's leggings down before assaulting her. The victim said she was having trouble breathing, so the man stopped and offered a cigarette before continuing to sexually assault her.
The arrest report states the man told the victim, "If you call the cops, I'm going to shoot you," and the suspect later ran away from the scene.
Detectives responded to the Public Storage, where they say they found the truck, along with blood on the driver's side of the truck. Reports say the blood tested positive with the victim.
Detectives gathered surveillance footage which showed a suspect kidnapping the victim and running away from the scene.
On Oct. 17, deputies conducted a traffic stop where they said the driver matched the suspect description.
Booth was reportedly arrested on an unrelated charge of drug paraphernalia and taken to the Naples County Jail.
A search warrant was conducted for Booth's buccal swabs for DNA comparison. According to reports, Booth's DNA was a match.
As of Sunday, Booth now faces new charges of kidnapping and sexual battery.
