The Mayes County Sheriff’s Office is investigating the sexual assault of an elderly woman near Locust Grove.
The assault occurred Tuesday, May 5, before 5:15 p.m., in the woman’s home east of Locust Grove.
The male suspect knocked on the woman’s door and asked to use the phone, then began assaulting her when he got inside.
When the suspect left the residence, he left the 81-year-old woman in the bathroom. She drove to her son’s nearby home when she was sure the man was gone.
An investigator took the woman to Tulsa to have a rape examination.
A suspect developed after officers interviewed neighbors. A neighbor told officers a man showed up at his home after 9 p.m. and wanted a ride to another residence in Locust Grove.
Investigators are pursuing the suspect and hope to have charges filed by the end of the day on Friday.
