Shreveport detectives arrested a 25-year-old Shreveport man on a charge of aggravated rape for the sexual assault of a woman in Cedar Grove last Thursday.
Deboski Small, no current address given, was arrested following a Crime Stoppers tip that gave the location of the woman’s stolen vehicle.
Small was arrested in the 100 block of Mary Court. The Green Ford Explorer, which belonged to the woman, was taken by the suspect following the rape. It was recovered at the time of the arrest.
The victim, a 34-year-old Shreveport woman, was carjacked at the intersection of Thornhill and 74th Street last Thursday night. The woman reportedly was forced to drive around until the two reached a dead-end street where she was raped. The suspect then drove off in her vehicle.
Small is now charged with aggravated rape and illegal possession of stolen things. He also had outstanding warrants for resisting an officer, hit and run and no driver’s license.
