Coquille police arrest rape suspect

Monday, January 12, 2009 |
Coquille police arrested a registered sex offender Sunday on charges including multiple counts of rape, kidnapping and assault.
Police Chief Mark Dannels said a friend of the victim, a Coquille woman in her 40s, called 911 dispatchers to report an assault and rape shortly after 8 a.m.
An investigation led police to the suspect’s apartment on Thomas Street in Coos Bay, where they arrested Paul W. Pizzola, 42, on charges including two counts of first-degree rape, first-degree kidnapping, first-degree sexual abuse, fourth-degree assault, menacing, interfering with a 911 call and possession of methamphetamine. He was taken to Coos County jail, where he was being held this morning on $2.3 million bail.
Dannels said the victim knew her assailant, though they had only recently met.
