   TEMPE, AZ — An arrest was made Friday morning in connection with a sexual   
   assault earlier this month at Arizona State University.   
      
   ASU police chief Michael Thompson said Eric Bell was taken into custody around   
   8 a.m. at his Mesa home. According to Thompson, Bell has an extensive criminal   
   history out of Ohio and his DNA was a match with DNA found at the crime scene   
   in Tempe.   
      
   ASU police said the sexual assault happened on the morning of Oct. 17 near   
   Packard Drive and Veterans Way.   
      
   Bell reportedly grabbed the victim from behind and held a metal knife-like   
   object to her throat. The victim was then taken to an unknown location near   
   the Packard parking structure where Bell is accused of sexually assaulting   
   her, police said.   
      
   According to initial information from police, the suspect then pressed a   
   gun-like object into the victim's back and left the area.   
      
   U.S. Marshals and Tempe police assisted ASU police in the investigation and in   
   Bell's apprehension Friday morning.   
      
   ASU Police Chief Michael Thompson says he was proud of the collaborative   
   efforts between various law enforcement agencies, to put Bell behind bars.   
      
   “Mr. Bell has an extensive criminal history out of the state of Ohio. We are   
   currently conducting search warrants at his residence right now, and   
   collecting any kind of weapons,” said Chief Thompson.   
      
   Thompson said neither Bell nor the victim are affiliated with ASU.   
      
   Lindsy Myers tells ABC15, when she was an undergrad at ASU, she would never   
   walk alone. Now, as a graduate student, she says nothing has changed.   
      
   “I actually have pepper spray too just in case because it did get scary   
   there for a while. And I have this like alarm thing where if you pull the   
   keychain, you know, it's really loud and it sounds loud. There are little   
   checkpoints on campus that have    
   buttons where it'll alert someone,” said Meyers.   
      
   According to ASU’s crime stats reported to the federal government, in 2019   
   there were 23 rapes and 15 reported fondling incidents.   
      
   In 2020, those numbers went down to 17 rapes and 9 reports of fondling.   
      
   Bell is facing charges for sex crimes, kidnapping and assault.
