Rape, Home Invasion Arrested Made In PG County: Police

SUITLAND, MD — A Temple Hills man was arrested for allegedly raping a woman in Suitland, police announced Thursday. Milton Wright, 24, is charged with first and second degree rape, home invasion, assault and other related charges.

At about 2:40 p.m. Tuesday, officers were notified of a sexual assault that took place in an apartment in the 3000 block of Parkway Terrace Dr. Detectives believe the victim was followed off of a Metro bus at the Suitland Metro Station and then to her apartment building, police said.

Once Wright was able to get inside of the building, he forced his way into her apartment where he sexually assaulted her, police said. Wright then fled on foot.

"This egregious crime took place on Tuesday and we were able to arrest him on Wednesday," Captain Denise Giannino, Commander of the Sexual Assault Unit, said. "Detectives worked throughout the night and day to identify him, obtain a warrant and then locate him. He has no place in our community."

Wright is in custody in Washington DC awaiting extradition to Prince George’s County, police said.
