- Leoncio Martin Tejas, 26, was arrested Jan. 29
- Investigating detectives say there may be more victims
Leoncio Martin Tejas, 26, was arrested and charged with sexual assault with a deadly weapon on January 29, stemming from an incident two days before.
According to the Hillsborough County Sheriff's Office, a woman was sexually assaulted just after 1 a.m. while walking north on Webb Road coming from the 7-Eleven gas station located at 8305 W. Hillsborough Ave.
Deputies said Tejas approached the woman from behind, placed his hand over her mouth and forced her to the ground. He then sexually battered the victim and told her not to scream because he had a knife and he would harm her. He then rode off on a white bicycle.
Authorities said during the course of the investigation, detectives identified the suspect as Tejas and issued a warrant for his arrest.
Police are now investigating if there are additional victims.
