EVANSVILLE, Ind. -- A Mount Vernon, Indiana, man with a history of sexual violence has been arrested after his alleged victim escaped and reported him to Evansville police.

Roy Clifford Bebout, 46, was booked into the Vanderburgh County Jail at 3:57 a.m. Saturday morning, where he remains on no bond. He faces felony charges of battery with a deadly weapon, battery by strangulation, criminal confinement while armed with a deadly weapon and kidnapping while armed with a deadly weapon.

Bebout is on the Posey County sex offender registry, classified as a violent sexual predator. He was out on probation from Marion County, where he was sentenced to 45 years for kidnapping and rape charges in 1998, according to Vanderburgh County circuit court records from 2014.

According to a probable cause affadavit, a juvenile female approached a METS bus driver Friday afternoon near the 200 block of North Main Street in the vacant parking lot of the former IGA grocery store building.

The bus driver's report to police said the girl was screaming, "He's trying to kill me."

When officers arrived, the girl was handcuffed behind her back. She told police she had been walking to work when a man in a red Dodge dually pickup truck jumped out and threatened her with a handgun.

The affadavit states that a struggle ensued between Bebout and the victim. The girl told officers she was choked and handcuffed by the man. He also tried to gag her by placing a yellow ball in her mouth, she told police.

During the struggle, the victim told police, she was able to reach pepper spray she carries and sprayed it on her alleged attacker. She then escaped and ran away to the parking lot, where the METS bus was parked, she said.

The bus driver stated he saw the man get into the red Dodge and drive away.

Officers searching the ground found a cell phone which they soon determined belonged to Bebout. A contact listed as "mom" in the phone was called and was found to be Bebout's mother. She confirmed the phone belonged to her son, that he drove a red Dodge truck and that he lived with her.

During an interview with detectives, the female victim identified Bebout in a photo lineup of six men, saying she was 90 percent sure the man in the photo was her attacker.

Police found Bebout in Princeton, Indiana late Friday night.
