CHESAPEAKE, Va. — A Virginia Beach man was arrested by the Chesapeake Police Department Wednesday for several "violent" charges.
Chesapeake police say 37-year-old Eugene Fulford is facing 10 charges, including aggravated sexual battery, abduction, robbery, sodomy, and gun charges.
Newly filed court documents said Fulford barged into a hotel room off Old Greenbrier Road last Tuesday with a gun. A criminal complaint said one victim told investigators Fulford then held her at gunpoint and sexually assaulted her.
A few days later, a separate criminal complaint said another victim told police Fulford forced his way into her hotel room. Documents said he told the victim to shut up or he would shoot her, but when she started screaming, he grabbed her phone and ran out of the room. Investigators said the suspect left his phone, which identified him as Eugene Fulford.
The complaint said there is surveillance footage of Fulford at both scenes and three victims said he assaulted them.
Bail documents filed in court said Fulford is a Virginia Beach native and is married with a child. It also said he has no prior criminal history.
Fulford agreed to speak with 13News Now on Thursday, then changed his mind after hiring an attorney. He is currently in Chesapeake City Jail without bond.
Chesapeake detectives are asking people with knowledge of any possible crimes involving Fulford to reach out to investigators. They can call the Crime Line at 1-888-562-5887 or submit an anonymous tip using P3 Tips.
People don't have to share their names or testify in court. If a tip leads to an arrest, the recovery of drugs, or stolen property, people could be eligible for a cash reward of up to $1,500.
Fulford had his first court appearance Thursday morning and is due back in court Tuesday.
