Bloomington Police Department officers arrested a Chicago man Sunday after he allegedly broke into a house and tried to put his penis in a woman’s mouth.
Allen Hall, 18, is charged with rape and burglary, both felonies.
Police were called at about 6 a.m. to the 300 block of South Hillsdale Drive about the attempted rape, BPD Capt. Steve Kellams said.
The 21-year-old victim, who was sleeping at the house after a party, told police she’d felt someone move against her while she tried to sleep, but she’d assumed it was a friend who lived in the house.
When she told the person to stop, she looked up and saw the man, who grabbed her head and tried to force his penis into her mouth.
She turned on the light and got a good look at the man, who fled. The incident woke up her friend, who was sleeping in the same room. The friend later told police a man with the same description had knocked on the window of the room about 10 minutes before and asked to speak to someone who lived in the house. She turned him away.
Other people sleeping in the house said they heard noises and saw a flashlight or smartphone light before the incident. Police believe the man entered the house through a window.
The house across the street also had a party, which was going on when police arrived, Kellams said. While standing outside the house where the incident occurred, the roomates who’d seen the man in the house saw him through a window of the house across the street.
They pointed him out to police, who took him into custody and identified him as Hall.
The police report did not note any connection between the two parties, Kellams said. It also did not make reference to Hall being intoxicated.
He was taken to the Monroe County Correctional Center, where he’s being held without bond.
