LAPLACE — A local man is behind bars, charged with raping a 19-year-old woman last week.

Tie Jamal Reese of Reserve was arrested Tuesday for second degree rape.

The St. John the Baptist Parish Sheriff’s Office reported Reese was also wanted on a fugitive warrant for the St. Charles Parish Sheriff’s Office.

Reese, 38, is being held in custody on a $65,000 bond.

According to the Sheriff’s Office, detectives learned Reese entered a 19-year-old victim’s residence late Thursday evening and began making sexual advances toward the female.
