A man, Darrell Mills in Florida is accused of dragging his
11-year-old step-granddaughter into the woods and raping her in the middle of
the night, police say.
He was arrested and charged with kidnapping a child younger
than the age of 13, sexual battery on a child under 12, committing sexual acts,
and more according to the Orange County Sheriff's Office.
The horrific ordeal began when the 50-year-old woke up about
1.50am on Sunday and told his wife that he was going to get food, the arrest
affidavit said.
The report states that Mill was 'drunk and upset over his
daughter's death' after he attended her funeral on Saturday, the Orlando
Sentinel reported.
Mill's wife went to check on him in their Apopka home when
she noticed that the door to her granddaughter's room was locked.
She then picked the lock on the door and discovered Mills inside the girl's room, according to the arrest report.
He then dragged the 11-year-old girl out of the room by the
arm and out of the house before taking her into the woods, the report
states.
Authorities said the young girl was screaming hysterically
and that she was naked from the waist down. He then forced her into a
green Chevrolet SUV where he raped her, police say.
Police who arrived to the home issued an Amber Alert for the
girl around 7.33am after she was abducted.
Roughly 100 law-enforcement officials from the sheriff's
office, Apopka Police Department and the Florida Highway Patrol responded to
the scene at the home and launched an extensive search for the 11-year-old
girl.
Three hours after the Amber Alert was issued, a citizen
flagged police down to report spotting the girl with Mills.
The little girl told police that Mills, who is married to
her biological grandmother, came into her room with a knife and threatened to
kill her, the report states.
Deputies say that Mills performed oral sex on the victim.
