According to information from Arkansas State Police Lt. Brant Tosh, Prosecuting Attorney Henry Boyce asked state police to investigate allegations of sexual assault committed by Slagley. The prosecutor received information about the allegations from Tuckerman Police Chief Jonathon Tubbs.
A state police investigator spoke with one of the victims in September who accused Slagley of rape. She told the officer that she moved into the River View Apartments on August 2. On August 27, the woman told the investigator Slagley came to her apartment to bring her some cleaning supplies.
During the meeting the woman said Slagley kissed her while he shook her hand. He then pulled her into a bedroom, pulled her pants down and raped her, according to statements in the affidavit.
The investigator also met with another woman who said Slagley forced her into the bedroom of a different apartment. On that occasion, which happened days prior to the August 27 incident, the woman told police Slagley rubbed "his crotch against her buttocks". The woman said she was able to lock herself in the bedroom and Slagley let himself out.
