Nevada hospital groper arrested after 5 day manhunt

20 year old Roy Trost was charged with groping two women in a Las Vegas area hospital parking lot while armed. According to police, Trost was hanging around Desert Springs Hospital in Flamingo before the attacks on the women.

Crime scene tape went up in a neighborhood near Desert Springs Hospital on Wednesday; three days after Metro says two women were attacked in a back parking lot.

"The individual in question, while positioning himself in the back lot of the back lot of the hospital, as people were walking out, he found a crime of opportunity," Metro's Captain Vincent Cannito explains. "As the young ladies in this particular case had exited the building they were approached by the suspect."

Cannito says that both woman were attacked and that the assailant had a handgun and is considered to be armed and dangerous.

Hospital employee Felisha McDonald says her bosses are making sure their employees walk out in groups and pay attention to their surroundings. "It makes me tense and I'm worried about it Our boss talked to us and told us to be aware and look around."

Trost was arrested in Venice Beach, CA yesterday by FBI agents after his roommate found a journal featuring the sexually degrading acts he had the woman and girl perform.

I opened the journal and I read it and I was horrified. In the journal was a description of the activities that took place over in the parking lot of the hospital," said Marco Briody.
Briody says Trost took off when the cops got there.

Trost faces 13 charges, including sexually assaulting a minor, open and gross lewdness, and kidnapping. The gun used in the attack was a replica, according to police.
