The
Prince George's County Police Department this weekend arrested a suspect in
connection with two separate sexual assaults within two hours. In the first
case, the suspect and victim were acquaintances. In the second case, the
suspect and victim did not know each other. The suspect is 22-year-old Al Louis
Bell of the 3300 block of Tea Garden Circle in Silver Spring.
The
first sexual assault occurred Friday night at about 8:20 pm in the 3800 block
of St. Barnabas Road in Temple Hills. The investigation reveals Bell sexually
assaulted an acquaintance inside an apartment building.
At
about 10:10 pm, the investigation reveals Bell attacked a second woman, this
time someone he didn't know. The woman had been walking alone in the 3900 block
of Silver Hill Road in Temple Hills when Bell grabbed her and forced her to
walk to a nearby vacant home on Cedar Drive. Once inside the home, Bell
sexually assaulted the victim.
Through investigative means, detectives quickly linked the two cases and were able to identify Bell within hours. Officers arrested Bell Saturday morning at a relative's home in Alexandria, VA. Bell has confessed to his involvement in both cases. He's charged with two counts of first degree rape, first degree assault and other related offenses. He's currently in custody in Alexandria awaiting extradition to Prince George’s County.
