BALTIMORE, Maryland (WJZ) — Some clever police work helped officers track down the suspect accused of the violent assault on a 71-year-old woman walking in Leakin Park.
Charles Taylor, 46, was arrested on November 22 on a number of charges.
Police said Taylor set up a small camp in Leakin Park and dragged the elderly woman to that camp and tied her to a chair.
She eventually escaped and got help.
According to our media partner The Baltimore Banner, police found small elastic bands used for braces and tracked them to a dental office in Ellicott City.
They showed employees a sketch of the attacker, who was identified as Taylor.
Taylor is being held without bond.
