A Lacey’s Spring man was arrested earlier this week after Morgan County Sheriff’s Deputies said he sexually assaulted his roommate.
Sheriff’s Deputies received a call from Huntsville Hospital Emergency Room July 20 around 6 a.m. reporting a sexual assault of a 23-year-old female. The woman said she was assaulted at her home in Sherbrook Park in Lacey’s Spring. The victim had bruises and other signs of a struggle.
At her home in Lacey’s Spring, deputies arrested her roommate, Chris McGinnis, 36. Deputies said McGinnis, who had previous arrests for burglary and arson as well as unauthorized use of a motor vehicle while inhaling toxic vapors, had allegedly been huffing gasoline at the time of the incident.
McGinnis was later charged with one count of sodomy in the first degree. He was taken to Morgan County Jail.
His bond had not been set at presstime.
