Daniel R. Pierson, 41, is accused of grabbing a woman from behind as she stepped out of her vehicle in the parking lot of Redner's on Lincoln Highway. As the victim fought and screamed, investigators say Pierson pulled down her pants and punched her in the face, which caused a laceration and swelling. Pierson is accused of trying to carry the woman back to his dark blue Ford pick-up truck, but her continuous screams caused him to let her go and flee the parking lot.
