An Altoona man is behind bars after he was accused of breaking into a woman’s home and sexually assaulting her. Arrested was 23-year-old Devon Garman. The assault reportedly occurred in September after the victim told authorities that Garman was upset because of how the relationship between the two was going. The victim told police that she woke up to find Garman on top of her and pinned her down, while allegedly performing sexual acts on her. The victim reportedly was able to free herself, when she ran into a bathroom and used her phone to call a friend, asking the friend to contact police. There are reports that prior to the assault, Garman was also accused of stalking the woman. Garman has been charged with rape by forcible compulsion and other related counts. He is currently in the Blair County Prison in lieu of $75,000. His preliminary hearing is set for tomorrow.
