Foxboro police, responding to a 911 call from an apartment complex at 101 Chestnut St. reporting a woman screaming at 3:24 a.m. Sunday, arrested a Brockton man on charges that include kidnapping, assault to rape and armed assault to murder.
Adelito Fonseca, 18, of 21 Howard St., Brockton, was taken into custody without incident, according to Police Chief Edward O'Leary. The female victim told police she had been held against her will at knife point by Fonseca, who threatened to kill her if she did not have sex with him.
Officers responding to the 911 call reportedly discovered the suspect and victim hiding in a car at the apartment complex . Police recovered a large steak knife during a search of the car.
Police say the victim and Fonseca met at a Providence nightclub earlier that night, and the woman had agreed to let Fonseca drive her home. They reportedly stopped at the Chestnut Street apartment complex, where neither resides. O'Leary explained that the suspect knows a resident of the complex and had been there before. Police say they left one of the apartments a short time after arriving.
"While driving the female victim home, Fonseca allegedly told the victim that she was going to have sex with him or he would kill her," police said in a press release issued Monday
The woman somehow escaped the car, according to police. However, Fonseca allegedly followed her, grabbed her, put the knife to her throat, forced her back into the car, and drove back to the Chestnut Street apartment complex, police said. Her screams, however, resulted in the 911 call which brought police in time to arrest Fonseca.
The arresting officers were Shawn Buckley, Joseph McDonald, Timothy Headd and Patrick Mattson.
According to police, Fonseca faces the following charges: armed assault to murder, kidnapping, assault and battery to intimidate, assault to rape, intimidation of a witness, assault and battery, and two counts of assault and battery with a dangerous weapon (knife).
He was held overnight at the Foxboro Police Station on $25,000 bail.
