Baker Rape Suspect Attempts Suicide

The man suspected of posing as a police officer and raping a teenager is hospitalized after he reportedly tried to commit suicide.

The East Baton Rouge district attorney filed a motion to revoke Mark Russell's bond last week for having a history of sex crimes.

A hearing was originally scheduled today to discuss the bond, but the hearing has been delayed after Russell was rushed to the hospital after slitting his wrists.

The new hearing date is scheduled for May 17th.
