BREAKING NEWS: DNA links prisoner to Gardena robbery/sex assault
Tony Ray Woods, 43, who was serving a sentence at the state prison in Delano, has been linked through scientific evidence to a 2008 robbery and sexual assault at a Gardena ice cream shop from blood he allegedly dripped at the crime scene, police said today.
The assailant that day cut himself while damaging the business' camera surveillance system, leaving behind enough blood for crime scene investigators to take as evidence, Robinson said.
Woods allegedly went into the shop's office area and confronted a woman while an unidentified accomplice held another woman working the counter at knife point, police said.
As the unidentified robber demanded money from the cash register, Woods allegedly robbed the office employee of her personal belongings.
He then damaged the surveillance system, cutting himself in the process, and allegedly sexually assaulted the office worker before leaving, police said.
