According to prosecutors, an unidentified person reported the assault to authorities on May 18. Officials said the victim identified the attacker as Woods. Details on when or where the attack occurred were not released to the public.

Investigators later found Woods along with a silver revolver. Officials said the gun was reported stolen from Pennsylvania.

🔴 Frequent name on police blotters

Woods was a familiar face to local police in his former home of Millville in Cumberland County.

Police blotters from 2014 and 2015 include arrests for shoplifting, criminal trespass, and drug offenses. He was also charged with contempt of court after he was picked up as part of a warrant sweep in June 2015 that picked up 55 fugitives, according to State Police.

Woods then spent 197 days, or about six and a half months, in jail after pleading guilty to third-degree drug possession in 2016, according to state records.
