Report: Man in Sparkletts uniform sexually assaults woman

PHOENIX - A Phoenix woman claims she was sexually assaulted in her home this week by a man dressed in a Sparkletts water uniform.

Luis Samudio with the Phoenix Police Department said the woman told authorities she heard a knock on her door in the area of 51st Avenue and Cactus Road around 6 p.m. Tuesday.

The woman reportedly looked through the peep hole and saw a man wearing what appeared to be a Sparkletts uniform.

Samudio said the woman told authorities she opened the door and the suspect forced entry into the home.

The man allegedly sexually assaulted her and struck her several times in the head with a black semi-automatic pistol.

The suspect is described as a Hispanic male between 25 and 30 years old, 5 feet 8 inches tall, 190 pounds, and was wearing a Sparkletts water polo, a matching baseball cap, leather gloves, and tan shorts. Police also said he had a ‘chinstrap’ goatee.

Samudio said this appears to be an isolated incident. Police say the crime in under investigation.
