Man accused of ********* assaulting woman at downtown Tuscaloosa parking deck

A 28-year-old man was arrested in connection with the ******* assault of a woman that was reported May 10 at a downtown Tuscaloosa parking deck.

Wynton Qushawn Rice was charged with first-degree *******, first-degree ***** and second-degree assault. He was placed in the Tuscaloosa County Jail with bond set at $5,000.

According to court documents, a woman reported to police that she’d been in the women’s restroom at the city’s intermodal facility parking deck, 601 23rd Ave. at around 4 a.m. when a man entered the bathroom and broke into the stall she was occupying. She said the man, armed with a knife, demanded sex and then assaulted her.

The woman told police that she sustained a small cut from the knife during the alleged assault.

According to court documents, Tuscaloosa police pulled surveillance video from the deck showing a man, who investigators believe was Rice, entering the bathroom just after 4 a.m. and leaving about 30 minutes later.

Rice was found by police May 11 and initially told police he hadn’t been in the area. He gave conflicting statements when confronted with surveillance footage, according to investigators.

Tuscaloosa police ultimately arrested and charged Rice in connection with the May 10 assault.
