Authorities said a man who impersonated a police officer and allegedly sexually assaulted a woman in Anoka County has been arrested.
The Anoka County Sheriff’s Office said the incident took place at about 1 p.m. on Nov. 23 on the 6400 block of 5th Street NE in Fridley. A suspect abducted a woman off the street in that area claiming to be a police officer, held her for several hours and sexually assaulted the victim.
Sheriff Commander Paul Sommer said Thursday that the suspect, identified as 35-year-old Gideon Charles Arrington of Brooklyn Park, was taken into custody at about 6:05 p.m. Tuesday on the 8000 block of Brooklyn Boulevard in Brooklyn Center. He was located by the Anoka-Hennepin Narcotics and Violent Crimes Task Force.
The next day, a similar incident occurred near the University of Minnesota campus near the intersection of 15th Avenue SE and 8th Street SE where a man impersonating a police officer sexually assaulted a female student. Minneapolis Police said Thursday the evidence in the investigation doesn’t show any indications that it is connected to the Fridley sexual assault. Police said it’s an ongoing investigation and evidence from the incident is being tested at the Bureau of Criminal Apprehension.
The suspect in that incident is described as a black man between 23 and 27 years old with a medium build. He had short hair or a shaved head and a neatly trimmed chin-strap style beard. He was wearing a dark-colored jacket with a badge on it, dark pants and a security or police-style belt, police said.
Arrington was charged Thursday by the Anoka County Attorney’s Office with first-degree criminal sexual conduct in connection with the Fridley incident.
According to the charges, he forced the victim into his vehicle in a Fridley parking lot after claiming to be a police detective. He then threatened, handcuffed and blindfolded the victim before driving her to a location where he repeatedly sexually assaulted her. After the assaults, he used a bleach type of solution on her.
Arrington is in the Anoka County Jail on$1 million bail and will appear in court next in early January.
The incident is still under investigation, and authorities said they’ve scheduled a 2 p.m. news conference Thursday to provide updates on the case.
