Thompson says residents of the home told police that Barnes tried to sexually assault a woman living there. Authorities say Barnes fled after a physical encounter with the victim and witnesses inside the home.

The newspaper reports that Barnes couldn’t be reached for comment and that courthouse records show he doesn’t have an attorney.
