The case was presented today to the Madison County States Attorney’s Office for review. A felony warrant was issued for Robert Lee with charges of Kidnapping, Aggravated Sexual Assault, and Unlawful Restraint. Lee is currently being held in Madison County Jail with a bond set at $500,000.
"The Police Department was able to provide a quick turnaround in this case due to the dedication of my officers and the time spent on this case away from their families over the holiday season," South Roxana Police Chief Bob Coles said. "I wanted to thank Alison Foley with the Madison County State's Attorney’s Office for her support and guidance.
"The police department would never be able to accomplish these results for the victim without assistance from emergency room hospital staff to counselors being provided."
Chief Coles closed by saying: "Our thoughts and prayers go out to the victim of this traumatic incident."
