It took Crawford County Sheriff’s deputies less than 12 hours to locate and arrest the suspect they were looking for in a case of rape in Jefferson Township.
Thirty-eight-year-old Chadwick Monroe was found and captured at a Nauman Street address in Bucyrus Tuesday evening. Monroe is being held at the Crawford County jail pending his appearance in Crawford County Municipal Court.
The Sheriff’s Office first responded to a call of rape Tuesday morning in Jefferson Township. Sheriff Scott Kent, deputies and the Ohio Bureau of Criminal Investigation’s Crime Scene Unit are conducting an investigation and had issued a warrant for Monroe charging him with Felony 1 rape.
When the Sheriff’s Office put out a request to the public for help in locating Monroe it was noted he may have sustained injuries to his chin and neck during the sexual assault.
