PANAMA CITY BEACH — Authorities are searching for a suspect of two possibly connected sexual assaults, officials confirmed Friday.
The Bay County Sheriff’s Office and the Panama City Beach Police Department were searching Friday for the man suspected of two separate sexual assault cases. BCSO employed land and air units in the search after a white male entered a home on North Lagoon Drive Friday and sexually assaulted the resident before fleeing the area, BCSO officials said.
Details of the suspects description were not immediately available.
“We know that a guy entered a home in that area,” said Sgt. Marc Tochterman. “One sexual assault happened in the county and one happened earlier this week in Panama City Beach; and we think the two are connected.”
