Sexual Assault Suspect Worked in the Area

The man who is accused of sexually assaulting a woman in Avon was working in the area at the time of the attack, reports the Hartford Courant.

Luis Ortiz, 29, is employed by United Site Services, a Massachusetts company that rents and services portable toilets.

The woman who was assaulted described her attacker as wearing a reflective vest and also described a truck with a tank on it. A few days later, a similar truck and its driver, wearing a reflective vest, was stopped near the scene.

Police interviewed the driver, who was not Ortiz, and determined who was working that route on the day of the attack.

Ortiz, who does not have a criminal record in Connecticut, went to the Chicopee police station just after noon Monday and was arrested on a fugitive from justice charge. He was being held without bail after his arraignment in Massachusetts Monday and was expected to arrive in Connecticut on Tuesday.
