MAN CHARGED WITH ATTEMPTED MURDER OF ROANOKE WOMAN

Roanoke County authorities have arrested a 30-year-old Fairfax County roofer and charged him with attempted capital murder, attempted rape and assault of a Roanoke woman on the Blue Ridge Parkway July 9.

Kenneth Edward Bailey was being held in lieu of $900,000 bond in the Roanoke County/Salem Jail, Roanoke County authorities said Friday.

Police charged Bailey after a 31-year-old Roanoke woman reported that she was driving on the parkway near U.S. 220 about 6:30 p.m. when a man drove up behind her and flashed his lights several times.

The woman told police she assumed something was wrong with her car, so she pulled over. The man pulled her out of her car, dragged her into some bushes and assaulted her, police said.

Afterwards, the man got back into his car and drove away. The woman notified police.
