"The victim stated she arrived home and the suspect entered her home uninvited," the Hazel Park Police Department said in a statement. "The victim stated the suspect then sexually assaulted her in the home and then left.  The victim immediately contacted friends. She then sought a medical exam. The victim stated she was encouraged to report the incident and filed a report with the Hazel Park police."

Tackett was arraigned Wednesday in 43rd District Court. Bond was set at $250,000. He has been placed on paid administrative leave.
