Logansport man accused of attempted rape arrested in Ohio

LOGANSPORT, Ind. — A Logansport man accused of assaulting two women at Huston Park earlier this week was arrested in southern Ohio after evading authorities for the last two days.

The Logansport Police Department confirmed that 25-year-old Deonizio Teo Pascal was arrested Friday in Cincinnati, Ohio for his alleged role in the attempted rape and assault of two women at the public park on Wednesday, July 17.
