A Tennessee man has been arrested in Lake Charles after being accused of rape and armed robbery at a local casino hotel.

Calcasieu Parish Sheriff’s Office spokesperson Kayla Vincent said detectives were told by the victim that an unknown man, who she recently met online, met her at the hotel on Feb. 23.

Detectives learned the man was in a room with her at which time he produced a firearm and raped her.  The victim also told detectives the suspect robbed her at gunpoint before leaving the room. It was also discovered an acquaintance of the victim, who was standing by the elevators when the suspect left the room, was ordered back to the room by the suspect at which time he also robbed her at gunpoint.

After further investigation detectives were able to identify the man as Travis W. Carter, 30, Linden, Tenn. On Feb. 28 detectives issued a warrant in the amount of $475,000 signed by Judge Tony Fazzio for Carter’s arrest.

Carter was located at a local casino in Lake Charles on March 2 and placed under arrest. When detectives interviewed Carter he changed his story multiple times.  He was booked into the Calcasieu Correctional Center and charged with first-degree rape; two counts of armed robbery; and two counts of armed robbery with the use of a firearm.

Det. Alexander Vincent is the lead investigator on this case.
