Rambo reportedly balled up his fists and started to walk toward the boyfriend, according to court records. The boyfriend then started punching Rambo in the face, grabbed him around the throat and forced him to the ground. By that time, another man came upon the scene and assisted, court records said. Both men stayed with Rambo until police arrived.
Police arrested Rambo, who agreed to speak with them. He allegedly said he lives in a nearby apartment complex and regularly exercises on the trail. He saw the woman about 45 minutes after he was on the trail and said he was going to have her, court documents said. An officer asked him if he intended to rape her. He said yes, according to court documents.
He allegedly added that he thought she was just going to go along with it and didn’t expect her to fight and scream. He also stated that his first attempt was a test to see if she was going to have sex with him, court records said. When asked why he attempted to fight her boyfriend, Rambo allegedly said he wanted to test himself to see if he could win, according to court records.
Rambo faces a charge of first-degree attempted rape.
Don Curl, 60, was out on his balcony when he heard the woman’s screams.
“She sounded terrified,” he said.
Curl said that Rambo was the reason he was on his porch in the first place. About an hour earlier, Curl said, he had witnessed Rambo running up and down his street screaming. Rambo then moved to the grass, walking in circles and occasionally making the sign of the cross on his body, Curl said.
