LEXINGTON COUNTY, S.C. — A man has been charged after assaulting a woman who was asleep inside a home he broke into early Monday morning, according to Lexington County deputies.
Terrell Dawaijah Lytes, 32, is charged with first-degree burglary and first-degree criminal sexual conduct, according to arrest warrants.
Deputies say Lytes entered a house in Red Bank through a bedroom window and tried to sexually assault the woman, who was asleep in bed with her husband.
The woman’s husband tackled Lytes in the bedroom before Lytes ran out of the house, according to Lexington County Sheriff Jay Koon.
Deputies eventually located Lytes near the home and matched him to the identification card found inside a backpack Lytes left in the bedroom, according to Koon said.
