Loxley police are alerting residents to be on the lookout for a man in his 40s with a Jesus fish tattoo on his lower left forearm after he allegedly posed as a police officer and assaulted a woman on Thursday.

Police released sketch images of the man to their Facebook page on Tuesday.

According to police, the man allegedly knocked on a door of a home within the Rosinton area off County Road 68 around 4:40 a.m., yelling “police.”

As the victim — a 49-year-old woman — attempted to open the door, the man forced himself into her home and struck her in the head with what she described as a small “club” or bat. The two struggled and the suspect forced himself on her sexually, according to police.

She told police he had a stud-type earring in his right ear, a Jesus fish tattoo on his lower left forearm just above his watch, and was wearing a Navy colored Polo type shirt with a Logo patch on the chest and Dark cargo pocket type pants.

This case is currently under investigation and any and all measures are being taken to identify this suspect.

Police say that if anyone knows the suspect or his location to contact them at 251-964-6000, option 1.
