When officers got there, one shined a light into the house and saw a man. He tried to run away, but there was another officer on the side of the house where he came out. There was a short foot chase and the officers caught him.

Police say the victim told them that the man tried to sexually assault her. She said she didn’t know him.

Hawkins’ bond was set at $250,000 at arraignment.
