Shamon Pearce, 24, faces charges of aggravated assault, battery and misdemeanor sexual battery in the attack of the 47-year-old woman, online jail booking records show.
The victim woke up as the suspect was trying to put a sheet over her head, the report said the woman told police. When she asked what he was doing, he became aggressive, climbed onto her and told her to be quiet and not move, the report said she told police, the outlet reported.
“She then realized what he was doing,” according to the report. “She began moving and telling him to get off her and they both fell off the bed. She tried to scream for someone to help.”
Hospital staff found the suspect naked and the patient on the floor of the room, the report said.
The nurses tried to lock Pearce in the room to prevent him from escaping, but he overpowered them, ran down the hall naked and went down a set of stairs, the news station reported.
Pearce allegedly hid in a basement trash can for an hour before finding a used hospital gown, putting it on and walking out of the facility. He was arrested nearby, allegedly initially telling officers he had been discharged from the hospital hours earlier, according to the incident report.
He later allegedly confessed, telling police, “he got on the bed with her and rolled over on her, he was high and smoking drugs and he was just trying something new,” the report said.
