A city man was arrested Monday evening on warrants for rape and felonious assault, officers of the Bellefontaine Police Department report.
Michael T. Elliott, 48, of 613 S. Madriver St., was placed under arrest about 7:10 p.m. on the warrants.
The arrest came less than 20 hours after a 60-year-old rural Bellefontaine woman told officers Monday she was assaulted by a named male suspect while at his city residence.
Officers talked with the victim around 1:45 a.m. as she was treated for injuries to her face and back at Mary Rutan Hospital.
Elliott was observed driving a station wagon near his home. A felony stop was initiated after he pulled into his drive.
He was taken into custody and lodged in the Logan County Jail.
