42 Year-Old Father Of Three In Jail For Shooting Rape Suspect
After police lost a rape suspect, many in the area armed themselves during the manhunt. The suspected rapist emerged from the woods, eluding police in Sparrowbush and was shot by a 42-year old father of three. The father of three is now behind bars on murder charge. The 42-year, David Carlson, admitted to killing Norris Acosta-Sanchez with his shotgun when he emerged from the woods near his home. The 35 year old suspected rapist was hiding in a vacant cabin near Carlson’s home on Old Plank Road. Police had found the cabin, surrounded it and broke the door down trying to make an arrest. However, Acosta-Sanchez wasn’t in the cabin at the time. Police, with heavily armed teams, searched the woods all day not finding him. “We were really frightened staying there that night because the guy’s on the loose,” said Amy Mann. “The police lost him.” One witness Carmine Ferrera did spot Acosta-Sanchez, when Carlson had his gun on him. Ferrara is scheduled to testify before the grand jury and declined to provide specifics about what he saw. He did state, “I didn’t see a murder happen. That’s as far as I’m going to go. “I can tell you the community was in fear. I can tell you Dave wasn’t the only one who armed himself.” Carlson is charged with second-degree murder. He’s being held in jail on $250,000 bail. The Orange County District Attorney Fran Phillips conveyed this incident as “a tragedy all the way around”. Phillips is still prosecuting Carlson.
