WANTED ALLEGED RAPIST CAUGHT AFTER BRIEF STANDOFF

(Richmond, IN)--A wanted alleged rapist was not only captured Tuesday night in Richmond, he also now faces a whole new round of charges as a result of a brief standoff.  It happened in the 700 block of South 6th Street at around 8 o’clock Tuesday night.  57-year-old Troy Hinds allegedly raped a woman he knew from church at a local assisted living facility back in January.  Hinds failed to show up for a pre-trial hearing in that case three weeks ago, and a warrant for his arrest was issued.  On Tuesday night, new charges including burglary, confinement, and intimidation with a deadly weapon were added.  More details, including why those charges were added, will likely be released later Wednesday.
