Joshua Orlandus Wells
Police have charged a 25-year-old Chattanooga man with rape after getting a DNA match tying him to the crime scene.
Arrested in the incident that took place Sept. 23, 2014, was Joshua Orlandus Wells.
Police were summoned to Memorial Hospital, where a woman had arrived saying she had been raped inside her vehicle at an unknown location.
She said she did not remember too many details of the incident because she had taken one and a half Xanax pills.
She said she was at the Brainerd Walmart when she saw two black males she did not know. She said she was unsure if they spoke to her first or she spoke first.
She said they left together and she followed them to several locations. She said finally one of the men got into her vehicle and drove her to an unknown location.
She said he stopped at what appeared to be a dark alley. He turned off the ignition and locked the doors.
The woman said she said "no" when he told her to take off her clothes.
She said he proceeded to hit her in the right temple, pull down her pants and rape her.
A full sexual exam was performed on the woman at the hospital. The findings were sent to the TBI Lab.
Police said during the processing "a CODIS match was found to belong to Joshua Wells."
