EASTPOINTE, Mich. – A man arrested in New York, accused of sexually assaulting a 12-year-old girl in Eastpointe, has waived his extradition hearing.
52-year-old Andrew Logan Williams was arrested Tuesday, Sept. 23, about half an hour south of Buffalo, New York.
Williams is accused of grabbing the girl off the sidewalk and raping her at his Macomb County home Monday morning.
The girl was able to escape and told a neighbor what happened, who then reported it to the police.
