Lange reportedly rented a room at the Quality Inn on Washtenaw Avenue on Monday evening and then solicited a female escort from a service in Wayne County. When a woman from the service arrived, Lange beat her on the head with a blunt object and then sexually assaulted her. He then tied her up, gagged her, stole her car and fled to Jeffersonville, Ind.
In Jeffersonville, Lange committed a similar crime with another escort from a service in the area. He stole the victim's car, leaving the original stolen car from Ann Arbor in Indiana.
Lange then moved on to Foley, Ala., where he was arrested after the AAPD sent a wire report to area police departments. AAPD has issued a warrant for his arrest and is in the process of extraditing him back to Ann Arbor. The Federal Bureau of Investigation is mediating the case because Lange is in violation of interstate flight.
Swastikas also were found to have been etched into the chalkboard and wall of a second room.
Building maintenance was notified for repairs.
The driver of a sport-utility vehicle told DPS that another vehicle had hit his SUV as he backed out of a parking space. When the SUV driver made contact with the other driver to discuss the accident, the man pushed him in the chest and called him a "Jew," the driver said.
The victim sustained no injuries and opted not to press charges.
What began as a verbal argument between a stepfather and stepson escalated into a physical assault, DPS reports indicate. The argument started because of a family problem. The fight left the stepson with bruises on both sides of his neck as well as scratch marks on his face.
The victim did not press charges, but a report was filed.
The woman said that when she turned on the light after entering her apartment, she saw her upstairs neighbor peeking in her bedroom window. The suspect, described as a male wearing shorts and a yellow jacket, ran away after the light was turned on.
DPS later contacted the possible suspect. No reports were filed.
