A 24-year-old man has been arrested in connection with sexual and aggravated assaults in the area of South Gary Drive and East 8th Street in Tempe, police said.

Djimon Boggs was arrested Oct. 14 as part of a joint effort between Tempe police and the U.S. Marshals Arizona WANTED Violent Offender Task Force, according to a release.

In the last month, police said, there were three incidents reported in the area of Eighth Street near South Gary Drive, including one sexual assault.

In each case, a person of the same description entered through an unlocked door or garage, according to an earlier release.

"We are immensely grateful for the unwavering dedication and tireless efforts of our officers, investigators and our invaluable partners at the state and federal level,” Tempe Police Chief Kenneth McCoy said.

McCoy also thanked Tempe residents, saying the suspect’s arrest “would not have been possible without the collective strength, support and trust of our incredible community. Thank you for your vigilance, cooperation, and commitment to keeping Tempe safe.

The investigation continues, police said, adding that further information will be provided as the case progresses.
