Lexington Park, Maryland - On August 16, 2014, Sheriff’s
Office Patrol units responded to a private residence for the report of a sexual assault. Deputies arrived on the scene and
made contact with an acquaintance (witness) of the victim who stated the adult female
victim had been transported to MedStar St. Mary’s Hospital. Detectives from the Criminal Investigations
Division were contacted, responded to the hospital, and assumed the
investigation.
Detectives
determined the female victim and a friend
(witness) had been at a local bar where they met three
males. The victim and her friend (witness) left
the bar with the three males and went to an apartment on Hilton Drive in
Lexington Park. Upon arriving at the
apartment the victim was provided a glass of wine by the suspect. The victim subsequently passed
out. A short time later, the witness was
unable to locate the victim and began checking the residence. The witness attempted to check a bedroom but
discovered the door had been locked.
After yelling the victim’s name several times and attempting to open the
door, the suspect exited the room. The witness entered the room and discovered
the victim unresponsive and her clothing removed.
During
an interview with detectives, the victim recalled drinking a glass of
wine before feeling her body become heavy and then everything went dark. She did not
recall anything else until she heard her friend yelling her name.
Detectives executed a search and seizure warrant at the residence where the
incident occurred and recovered several items of evidence. The suspect, identified as Omni A. Wallace, age 31 of
Lexington Park, Maryland, was later located and placed under arrest. Omni was transported to the St. Mary’s County
Detention Center, charged with 2nd Degree Rape and incarcerated on a
$35,000 bond. Omni posted bond and was
subsequently released from commitment.
