Man charged with two counts rape and sodomy after arrest on Knight Drive

A Columbus man was arrested Saturday on assault charges, a day after an alleged assault was reported, police said.

Jamarquis Hooks, 26, is charged with two counts each of rape and sodomy and one count of kidnapping in two separate incidents. He is held without bond in the Muscogee County Jail for a 9 a.m. Friday hearing in Recorder’s Court.

Hooks was taken into custody at a home on Knight Drive. Police said the charges stem from a report of an assault that occurred between noon and 1 p.m. Friday on St. Marys Road. The second assault with rape, kidnapping and sodomy charges was at a separate location in south Columbus, police said.

A police officer was called to the emergency room of Piedmont Columbus Regional midtown campus at 3:30 p.m. Friday on a possible rape.
