An Omaha man has been arrested and booked for False Imprisonment and Third Degree Sexual Assault in connection with an incident at a metro recycling center.
That incident reportedly happened March 9th at Alters Recyclables at 11th and Locust. A woman told investigators she sold recyclables there and an employee locked her in a room as she awaited payment.
She said the man then told her to lift up her shirt and he took several pictures before she was allowed to leave. "He reached over and grabbed my boobs... He's like, 'You need to turn around toward the wall,' she told 6 News. He had me pinned in a corner... He turned around and pulled the back of my sweatpants down and I had to hold the front of it and he was playing with my butt and stuff."
The woman says the incident has left her unable to sleep. "It's in my mind all the time." Police say the company has been cooperative in the investigation. The Special Victims Unit believes this might not be an isolated case. Police are asking anyone with information to contact the Special Victims Unit at 402 444-5636, the WCA at 402 345-7273 or Omaha Crime Stoppers at 402 444-STOP.
