BUCYRUS—Today, officers of the Bucyrus Police Department responded to Kroger (210 E. Mary St., Bucyrus) regarding a female standing in front of the store yelling for help. Officers met with an adult female who alleged she’d been sexually assaulted by an adult male she knew. Officers assisted the female with medical attention, and immediately began an investigation of the incident. The investigation has been turned over to Bucyrus detectives who are diligently working on the case. Anyone with information is encouraged to contact Detectives Tracy Keegan or Jamie Carver at (419-562-1006.)
The police department has fielded some questions about a possible ongoing threat to the community. Though we are unable to release sensitive investigative information, we would like our citizens to know this was not a random act, and the parties involved are not residents of Bucyrus. There is no reason for the Bucyrus Police Department to believe this matter was anything other than an isolated incident and poses no continued threat to residents.
