"25% of all sex offenders re-offend within 15 years".........Sarah Tofte
Police in Chesapeake have arrested and charged a man they say attacked a woman at knife point in her own driveway.Chesapeake police say Marqice Martin ambushed the woman, then forced her back into her home.
Neighbor Eudell Walker says he heard her screams, but didn't realize until it was too late that she was actually calling for help.
Police say the 33-year-old victim was about to head to work Tuesday morning, when they say a man carrying a knife jumped out and forced the woman back into her home.
Police tell us the man then told the woman to turn off her alarm system and ordered her into a bedroom.
The woman says she fought back, breaking the knife's blade. The suspect then ran out the door, and by that time -- neighbors were already looking out their windows.
Police found the handle of the broken knife and a jacket in the bushes in front of the house next door.
Court documents show Martin was living in the home with his grandmother.
According to state police, Martin is also a registered sex offender, convicted in Chesapeake and Portsmouth for abusing children.
Martin's grandmother didn't want to comment on her grandson's arrest. Neighbors say the news of a convicted sex offender living that close is disturbing.
Martin is now behind bars, facing several charges, including Abduction and Burglary with the Use of a Weapon.
