A career criminal with a lengthy rap sheet wanted in connection to an alleged attempted rape at Johns Hopkins University has been arrested, authorities announced.

Raymond Willis Lunn, 31, a registered sex offender in Maryland, is facing fresh charges following a days-long manhunt for a man accused of attempted rape on campus over the weekend.

The incident was reported at around 7:30 p.m. on Saturday, Oct. 18 in the 3100 block of Wayman Park Drive when Lunn allegedly stopped and asked for directions before assaulting a woman.

Baltimore Police Col. John Herzog announced the arrest on Wednesday, Oct. 22, noting that Lunn is a registered sex offender with a criminal history in Maryland that includes arrests for: 

  • Attempted rape;
  • Armed robbery;
  • Kidnapping;
  • Assault;
  • Burglary;
  • Auto theft;
  • Violation of probation.

Herzog said that Lunn has served "multiple prison sentences," and they are now investigating to determine if he is connected to any other crimes on or near campus.

Lunn's downfall, investigators said, came after he was identified by tipsters when his photo was released by Metro Crime Stoppers.

He said they were able to track his movements that day in the area, and he was arrested on Tuesday, Oct. 21, and processed the following day.

The investigation into the incident is ongoing.
