Arrestee In One Rape Questioned In Teacher Assault

INDIANAPOLIS -- Police Thursday night arrested a man in connection with one rape and called him a "person of interest" in connection with the rape of an Indianapolis teacher.

Authorities said they believe Darrien Allen, 19, raped and robbed a woman last week inside a bathroom at the Labor Ready temporary services company at 2728 Westlane Road.

Police said they also were questioning him about the rape of a female teacher who was approached by a gunman as she was leaving school Wednesday evening.

Police said the teacher had just entered her car to leave the Sycamore School, 1750 W. 64th St., at about 6:30 p.m. when someone got in the vehicle, pulled out a gun and told her to drive.

The gunman forced her to drive to a nearby neighborhood before sexually assaulting her in the car, police said. Then they drove to a bank, where he made her withdraw $400 from an automated teller machine, police said.

They then drove to Westlane Middle School. After the car was parking outside the school, he raped her in the car, police said.

Police said that before the gunman left the woman, he took the $400, her driver's license and her cell phone, and threatened to kill her if she told anyone what happened.

The teacher described the gunman as being black, 16 to 18 years old, and 6 feet tall. She said he had a medium build, close-cut hair and two diamond earrings in his left ear, according to police.

Sycamore School said it has hired security guards on a temporary basis as a result of the incident.
