RAPE SUSPECT
Washington knifepoint rape suspect arrested in Oregon
FLORENCE, Ore. (AP) - A Washington state man wanted on rape and
kidnapping charges in the Seattle area has been arrested on the
Oregon coast, just south of Florence.
Police say 51-year old John Alan Carter was spotted Wednesday
along U.S. Highway 101 by the police chief for the Confederated
Tribes of the Coos, Lower Umpqua and Siuslaw Indians.
Tribal police Chief Brad Kneaper recognized Carter from a wanted
flier and called officers from the city of Florence to assist.
Carter is accused of raping a woman at knifepoint last month in
Covington, Wash., then forcing her to withdraw money from an ATM.
The victim escaped and her attacker then fled in the woman's
sport utility vehicle, which was later found in Medford in southern
Oregon.
