Arrests Made in Rape, Stabbing at Woodbridge Homeless Camp

WOODBRIDGE, Va. – A homeless woman was raped while inside of her tent in Woodbridge.

Police said the victim was asleep at an homeless encampment in the area of Potomac Mills Road and Town Center Drive at when a man she knew entered the tent and raped her at 4:11 a.m. The man then fled the area and then turned himself into police a short time later.

Anthony Eugene Wilson, 46, is charged with rape and forcible sodomy, said Prince William police spokesman Jonathan Perok. Wilson was held without bond and his court date was not released.

Police also charged one man in a separate incident —  a stabbing that also took place in the area of Potomac Mills Road and Town Center Drive at 8:41 p.m. Sunday. Officers were called to a homeless camp after one man was stabbed in the upper body and the other cut on the face.

Perok said an argument between the two victims and the suspect escalated, and added the suspect then grabbed a knife and stabbed a 21-year-old man, and cut the face of a 42-year-old man who tried to intervene. The stabbing victim was taken to a local hospital, and police said both victims suffered injuries that did not appear to be life threatening.

The suspect fled the scene but was later captured by police.

Juan Molina Reyes, 42, of 5500 Magnolia Lane in Alexandria, is charged with malicious wounding, said Perok. He was held without bond and is set to appear in a Prince William County courtroom on June 5.
