FAYETTEVILLE (WTVD) -- Fayetteville police have arrested 22-year-old Diondre Kesean Jones after an alleged sexual assault Monday. Authorities said he surrendered himself to the A-1 Bail Bonds at around 2:30 p.m.
He was charged with first degree rape, first degree kidnapping, first degree sexual offense, larceny of a motor vehicle, and possession of a stolen motor vehicle.
