Surveillance tape, tips lead to arrests of rape suspects

Wednesday, Jan. 5, 2005 | 9:43 a.m.

Metro Police released additional information Tuesday afternoon regarding the arrests of two men who are charged with the robbery, kidnapping, attempted murder and sexual assault of a 60-year-old woman.

She was attacked at her southwest Las Vegas home on Dec. 31 in what police described as a random act of violence.

Jermaine Johnson, 22, and Gregory Parks, 24, are now charged in connection with the case and are being held in the Clark County Detention Center.

Police credited the public for telling police that the two men were living near Durango Drive and Warm Springs Road. Jackson was arrested as he came home, police said.

Parks refused to leave the house, but eventually surrendered, police said.

The description of the suspects and their images captured on a nearby store's surveillance tape also helped police identify them.
