Pullman police seek man in date rape

The Pullman Police Department is seeking help from the public to solve a reported sexual assault on Saturday.

A woman told investigators that she believes a casual acquaintance slipped a “date rape” drug in her drink at a bar, Police Chief William Weatherly said in a press release. The woman said the man then drove her home, where he sexually assaulted her.

The suspect is described as a white male in his mid-20s. He is tall with a thin, muscular build and has a 2 1/2 inch scar on one cheek. His name possibly is Brad, Weatherly said.

The suspect was driving a red or maroon SUV with ground-effect lighting and several aftermarket upgrades to the SUV’s body.

Anyone with information about the suspect is asked to call the Pullman Police Department at (509) 334-0802.
