Officers told 7 Eyewitness news Adonis Winston, 25, was arrested around 7, Wednesday evening in a home in the Gadsden area.

Investigators said Monday afternoon, a 22-year-old woman was outside her home on West Main Street, playing with her pets, when Winston approached her. She told officers she asked him to leave, but instead he shoved her inside the house and raped her. “He made threats and comments that he had a knife which led her to believe that he did have a knife and that he was gonna do serious bodily injury or kill her,” said Assistant Chief Jim Knox of the Alamo Police Department.
