An Akron, Ohio man suspected of rape, kidnapping and felonious assault was taken into custody by police last Tuesday morning after being mistakenly released from the Summit County Jail earlier this month. Officers said Patrick C. Geiger, 35, put up no struggle when they arrested him in his seventh-floor apartment at the Seven Stories West building, 429 N. Hawkins Ave., in west Akron. Geiger was quietly led out of the building in handcuffs at 10 a.m. by uniformed and plain-clothes officers from the Akron Police Department, the Summit County Sheriff's Office and the Northeast Ohio Violent Fugitive Task Force. Summit County Sheriff's Capt. Larry Momchilov said Geiger was a resident of the building and lived in apartment 701. Court records indicate Geiger tested positive for HIV, the virus that causes AIDS, after he was charged with kidnapping and sexually assaulting a 33-year-old Akron man he met in August at Thursday's, a local nightclub. Geiger was allowed to leave the county jail Feb. 13 on a signature bond related to that case, police said. Steve Finical, chief of the county jail corrections department, said jail officials apparently were unaware that Geiger was supposed to be held on a $50,000 bond imposed just two days earlier. The $50,000 bond was imposed after Geiger was arrested Feb. 10 in connection with a second incident in which he allegedly kidnapped and assaulted a 42-year-old Akron man, Finical said. |
