DEWITT, N.Y. (WHDH) – A man and woman from Leominster have been arrested in New York in connection with the assault and rape of a victim near Syracuse, according to officials.

The Onondaga County Sheriff’s Office announced Dustin Wilson, 27, and Tasheana Flannery, 30, have been brought up on numerous charges after the alleged victim escaped the hotel room she was trapped in and alerted authorities.

According to a press release, it was Tuesday morning on Aug. 23 when police were called to a hotel in the town of DeWitt.

Officers responding to the Red Roof Inn soon found the victim, who told police how, after she encountered a couple at the hotel, she was held against her will, beaten and raped by the two suspects, all while in the presence of two children in their hotel room.

Police learned the victim was eventually able to escape and alerted a hotel clerk, who then called 911.

Both suspects were then found in the room where the alleged assault occurred and were arrested. Two children were also found in the room, and were taken to a nearby facility before being put in the custody of Onondaga County Child Protective Services.

The Leominster couple is now facing a long list of charges, which include:

  • Rape in the 1st degree
  • Criminal Sexual Act in the 1st degree (3x counts)
  • Aggravated Sexual Abuse in the 1st degree (2x counts)
  • Assault in the 2nd degree
  • Criminal possession of a weapon in the 4th degree
  • Unlawful imprisonment in the 2nd degree
  • Endangering the Welfare of a Child (2x counts)

Both Wilson and Flannery were arraigned and brought to the Onondaga County Justice Center.

The sheriff’s department added that Wilson is being held without bail, while Flannery is being held on $25,000 cash/$50,000 bond.

The two will reappear in court on Monday, Aug. 29.

Virginia family gets keys to Habitat for Humanity’s first 3D-printed home in the US

By
(CNN) — One Virginia family received the keys to their new  3D-printed home  in time for Christmas. The home is Habitat for Humanity’s first 3D-printed home in the nation,  according to a Habitat news release. Janet V. Green, CEO of Habitat for Humanity Peninsula and Greater Williamsburg, told CNN it partnered with Alquist, a 3D printing company, earlier this year to begin the process. The 1,200-square-foot home has three bedrooms, two full baths and was built from concrete. The technology allowed the home to be built in just 12 hours, which saves about four weeks of construction time for a typical home. April Stringfield purchased the home through the  Habitat Homebuyer Program . She will move in with her 13-year-old son just in time for the holidays. “My son and I are so thankful,” Stringfield said in a  live feed streamed on Habitat’s Facebook  page. “I always wanted to be a homeowner. It’s like a dream come true.” To purchase the home, Stringfield logged hundreds of hours of

Lawsuit: High school football player says coaches forced him to eat pizza as punishment, violating religious beliefs

By
CANTON, Ohio (AP) — An Ohio high school football player who says coaches forced him to eat a pizza covered with pepperoni grease in violation of his religious beliefs is suing his former district and the ousted coaches. The former Canton McKinley High School athlete and his parents filed a federal civil rights suit this week seeking millions of dollars in damages and alleging violations of his religious freedom and constitutional rights. The athlete says in the lawsuit that coaches were notified he doesn’t eat pork or pork residue as a member of the Hebrew Israelite religious faith, but that they ordered him to eat the pizza as punishment for missing an offseason workout — and indicated his spot on the team was at risk if he didn’t. The coaches say the player chose to remove pepperoni and eat the pizza rather than an alternative food. They weren’t aware it violated his religious beliefs, according to a  defamation case they filed  previously against the teen’s father, his attorney a

Bergeron, Pastrnak and Bruins finish off Capitals in 5 games

By
WASHINGTON (AP) — Patrice Bergeron and David Pastrnak dazzled on offense, Tuukka Rask was rock solid in net and the Boston Bruins are moving on to the second round of the playoffs. Bergeron scored twice at crucial times after Pastrnak’s  highlight-reel  goal, Rask made 40 saves and the Bruins eliminated the Washington Capitals in five games with a 3-1 victory Sunday night. Bergeron delivered the dagger with 7:35 left to set up a second-round showdown against either the Pittsburgh Penguins or New York Islanders. Chants of “TUUKK!” emanated from a large group of black and gold-clad Boston fans who were part of the limited-capacity sellout crowd of 5,333. Those were occasionally interrupted by “We want the Cup!” — the trophy the Bruins last won a decade ago after a 39-year title drought. They’re 12 wins away, thanks to their best players dominating in Game 5. Pastrnak made it look easy putting the puck behind his back and through his legs, assisted on Bergeron’s first goal and was par
