EUSTIS – A local man was arrested Wednesday morning after a woman told police she was assaulted in a parked vehicle.
Nathan Bowers, 46 of Eustis, was arrested on a charge of unlawful sexual contact, a Class C felony, following a Franklin County Sheriff’s Office investigation.
According to Sheriff Scott Nichols, police received a report of a sexual assault that was alleged to have occurred in the parking lot of the Stratton Motel. Deputy Alan Elmes and Sgt. Bradley Scovil responded just after midnight Wednesday morning and conducted interviews. The complainant told police that she had been assaulted by Bowers while the two were sitting in a car in the parking lot.
After conducting interviews, Scovil and Elmes arrested Bowers. He was transported to Franklin County Detention Center, where bail was set at $2,500 cash.
If he is guilty,, he needs to be dealt with accordingly
The cops felt there was enough to charge him so.. (Whatever that’s worth will be known later).
Right now,, it’s an “allegation”.
He has not at this point been proven guilty.
Anyone else see it this way?
If so, please respond with (“Yes, “MeToo””.).
Justice!!
A cop can arrest you on a he said ane said situation. It doesn’t mean they had any evidence except for her saying he did something. When we have PROOF and a conviction I’ll agree we have justice. This #MeToo stuff is getting a bit ridiculous lately.
I agree with Not #ME too. Being accused is just that an “accusation” . it’s so easy to say things about a person in the heat of the moment that will indefinitely bring negative consciences towards them “just because someone is angry or upset” (not always the case). We are in a world of quick judgement and misunderstanding. Things go so sideways so quick for some. Remember the life you live may not be the same of others. Right is right and wrong is wrong but we all have to understand that our eyes were not present and we shall not judge not knowing
