A special constable for Toronto Community Housing suspected of raping a woman in West Virginia has been caught at the Atlanta airport.

The Atlanta Journal-Constitution reports 34-year-old Jordan Anthony Doswell was identified as a fugitive Sunday and arrested by Atlanta police at Hartsfield-Jackson International Airport.

The Clayton County Sheriff’s Office says Doswell broke into a woman’s home in Huntington, West Virginia in September and raped her.

Toronto Community Housing confirmed to CityNews that Doswell is a special constable in the Community Safety Unit for Toronto Community Housing (TCH).

TCH released a statement, saying they take this matter very seriously. “We are still gathering the facts and as this is a matter before the courts.”

Doswell remains in the Clayton County Jail awaiting extradition to West Virginia.
