(Stuart) A man has been arrested following a reported assault on a woman at the Stuart Sports Complex Sunday afternoon.
Stuart police say officers were called to the complex around 2:39 p.m. on November 8 after a woman reported being chased and assaulted while walking on a trail. The woman told officers the suspect ran away after she screamed for help.
Law enforcement conducted a large search, with assistance from the Adair, Dallas and Guthrie County Sheriff’s Offices, the Iowa State Patrol and the Iowa Department of Natural Resources.
Surveillance video from the sports complex helped officers identify the suspect as Carver Tracy Lee-Wallace. Officers located him at his residence around 4:40 p.m. and took him into custody.
Lee-Wallace was transported to the Adair County Jail and charged with assault with intent to commit sexual abuse, an aggravated misdemeanor, and third-degree harassment, a simple misdemeanor.
Lee-Wallace is presumed innocent unless and until proven guilty in court.
Stuart police say they will not release additional information at this time.
