A 20 year-old Sharpsburg man has been arrested by Tyrone Police in connection with an alleged rape that occurred during the Labor Day weekend in 2005.
Zachary H. Higgins was arrested April 23 on rape charges, according to Tyrone Police spokesperson Alicia Batts.
Batts said a Tyrone woman of undisclosed age contacted police April 21, alleging that during the holiday weekend in 2005 Higgins, an acquaintance with whom she had also worked, arrived at her residence and let himself in. The woman said she and Higgins began talking and that he later raped her, Batts said.
Batts said the reason for the woman’s waiting until now to come forward to police is unknown.
