Roy Clowder, the man who was accused of kidnapping and assaulting a woman was arrested on October 12. But the cops only recently revealed new information on Tuesday. Per Fox 10 News, a woman whom the authorities have refused to name was Clowder’s unsuspecting victim. She was returning home from work and decided to stop at a store on Dauphin Island Parkway. That was when she met the suspect who begged for a ride. While Jane Doe agreed to his plea, he took advantage of it sooner than she expected.
37-Year-Old Mobile County Man Roy Clowder Arrested For Kidnap, And Sexual Assault
According to the police, Clowder threatened her with a gun and demanded that she let him drive. He drove to a nearby local church where his victim was compelled to wed him. The suspect did not need an audience or a priest, as authorities maintain that the wedding happened on the church steps.
Following the awkward wedding vows, 37-year-old Roy Clowder did something even more bizarre. Clowder toured Mobile County with the victim and proceeded to sexually assault her. Somehow, the victim remained calm throughout the abuse and kidnap. Police claimed that this helped her to memorize the addresses they drove past.
During the unsavory incident, the woman’s family tried to reach her but to no avail bail, so they contacted the police. Much later the victim reached out to a friend who phoned 911. The call was then transferred to the police Sheriff’s Office. According to the authorities they connected to the woman on the phone until she was released by the suspect.
Once they got a hold of the predator on Texas Street, the authorities detained him. He has now been booked for resisting arrest following his feat during arrest. On top of that, he faces first-degree sexual abuse, first-degree kidnapping, and first-degree robbing.
For now, no motive has been discovered, but the investigation proves that Clowder didn’t act with a clear head. Investigators agree that he was under the influence of narcotics. The suspect has since been in Mobile County Metro Jail and is scheduled for a hearing today.
