The East Baton Rouge Sheriff’s Office arrested a 20-year-old Marrero man this weekend for an alleged rape that occurred in a Baton Rouge hotel. Investigators say that Devon Dajon Turner, 191 Charleston Dr, Marrero allegedly raped a female he was sharing a hotel room. The victim told deputies that while she was asleep, Turner removed her clothing and raped her. She was taken to the Woman’s Hospital where a rape kit was performed. Turner fled the scene when deputies arrived but was located a short time later hiding in some bushes near the hotel. He was taken into custody and charged with simple rape. Turner admitted to removing the woman’s clothing but denied raping her. He was transported to EBR Parish Prison and is currently being held in lieu of a $15,000 bond.
