Officials say Wildred Smith, 27, was arrested in Baytown for open felony warrants but a DNA test later linked his connection to a case where a woman at Jenkins Park was attacked and sexually assaulted.
PD say an unidentified woman in her 50s had been walking on the trail of Jensen Park. She told police a man sexually assaulted her and then ran away on.Artist rendering of possible suspect involved in assault
However, on Wednesday, September 14, 2022, officials said a Baytown officer pulled over a vehicle that matched the description of a possible suspect in the case. The driver was identified as Wildred Smith, 27, of Baytown, who reportedly had several outstanding warrants out of Harris County so was taken into custody. Officials noted a resemblance in Smith's face compared to the sketch and passed the information over to fellow officers.
It was later discovered Smith's DNA did actually match the samples found at the scene and positively identified through a photo array as the assault suspect. He has since remained in Harris County jail since his arrest in September but in addition to previous felony warrants, has also been charged with two counts of Aggravated Sexual Assault and one count of Aggravated Robbery.
"We have been committed to relentlessly pursue justice, fully investigating violent crimes, identifying and locating violent offenders, arresting and prosecuting them to fullest extent of the law no matter where they flee," Chief of Police, John Stringer said in a press statement. "The men and women of the Baytown Police Department have been actively working this case to bring the suspect to justice and closure to the victim.
