BUSTED

According to police 32-year-old suspect Rodney Joseph offered a 40-year-old homeless woman a ride to a homeless shelter.  She accepted the ride but realized Joseph wasn’t going to the homeless shelter.  She tried to leave but was violently held and assaulted by Joseph.

Police think Joseph may have tried this before and are asking the public to come forward if anyone has any information to call MPD’s special victims unit at 305-603-6300.  Joseph has been charged with attempted sexual battery and aggravated assault with a firearm and has no bond.  He is being held at the Turner Guilford Knight Correctional Center as of Thursday.
