A Circuit Court grand jury indicted a former Radford University student Tuesday on charges of attempted rape and malicious wounding in connection with an April incident where another student was attacked in a campus dormitory.
The woman attacked April 12 testified about the incident in a hearing last month. She said Ralph William Bundick III of Hampton held the door of Moffett Hall for her moments before he slammed her head into the floor and tried to pull her pants down. The attack took place in a darkened stairwell of the dorm, according to police.
A sound in the dorm apparently scared Bundick, who then fled, the woman testified.
Bundick was arrested the night of the attack and released on a $10,000 secured bond. Bundick is not enrolled at Radford University this year, a school spokeswoman said Tuesday.
If convicted, Bundick faces up to 10 years in prison for attempted rape and five to 20 years for malicious wounding.
In other Radford grand jury indictments, Landon Neil Semones, 18, formerly of Radford, and Robert Anthony Adkins, 19, were each indicted on four counts of grand larceny. Both men live in Winston-Salem, N.C., according to police.
Cheryl Lee Wehunt, 21, also of Winston-Salem, was indicted for one count of conspiracy to commit grand larceny.
The charges stem from the theft of compact discs and stereo equipment from vehicles parked in three different areas of Radford in the early morning hours of April 14. The stereo equipment and accompanying compact discs were valued at about $2,400.
Radford police arrested the three people after a tip from a caller described a man walking through a parking lot carrying stereo equipment at about 4:30 a.m.
