Officials said Uday was accused of stealing women’s underwear from a laundromat in 2019.
Uday was arrested on July 10 when a woman informed the police about breaking into a man’s apartment. The two had a fight and the woman was admitted to the hospital with ‘minor injuries’.
Police said Uday fled before officers arrived, but they determined his identity from the bill of sale for the woman’s stolen gaming console, police said.
Further investigation found that Uday had allegedly sexually assaulted her.
After being arrested, Uda is said to have confessed that he broke into the same apartment to steal the woman’s game console.
Uda faces other charges stemming from several separate incidents in which Uda allegedly took a woman home, saw her dressed and then took pictures of her debit card and her son’s Social Security card.

The law makes it an offense to take photographs without a person’s consent.
Prison records do not reveal whether Uday had a lawyer or not. He is being held on a one million dollar bond.
Dothan Police Lieutenant Scott Owens said, ‘If we can keep him in jail, the public will definitely be better off for it.’
