A wanted Englewood man awaiting extradition after he was arrested out of state was indicted Thursday by a Montgomery County grand jury.

Shawn T. Holmes, 38, is facing two counts of kidnaping, two counts of abduction and one count of gross sexual imposition, according to court records.

In September, Dayton police identified Holmes as a suspect in a “violent sexual assault” that took place in August on South Smithville Road and issued public pleas for information on his whereabouts.

Holmes is accused of forcing a woman into the backseat of his vehicle before driving away and refusing to let her out. When he stopped at an unknown location, he reportedly got into the backseat and began to touch her, according to Dayton Municipal Court records.

“She told him to stop and he became more enraged until he finally took her back to the area where she was removed from,” an affidavit filed in the case read.

Dayton police Lt. Jason Hall said that Holmes also was wanted for questioning by the Butler Twp. Police Department in connection to a kidnapping and rape case there.

Holmes was booked Friday into the Montgomery County Jail, after Dayton police on Oct. 20, announced that he had been arrested outside Ohio.
