SPRINGFIELD, Mo. (AP) Charging documents say a swastika and “family values”
tattoo helped police identify a Missouri man accused of choking, raping and
stabbing a woman.The Springfield News-Leader reports 26-year-old James Simpson, of Springfield, is jailed on six felony charges, including first-degree rape. No attorney is listed for him in online court records. He’s being held on $250,000 bond.
Charging documents allege Simpson attacked the woman last month after she
invited him to her home. The documents say he choked her until she lost
consciousness and stabbed her twice in the back, puncturing one of her lungs.
She escaped by crawling out of a window and running to a neighbor’s home for
help.
The documents say Simpson was arrested Monday after struggling with officers.
