Boise man facing suspected rape, attempted strangulation charges
Boise police arrested a 47-year-old man on Tuesday evening on suspected rape and other charges.
Rod Fulton, of Boise, has been under investigation since April 2, when police responded to a report of domestic violence at a home near the 6000 block of Overland Road.
Officers began an investigation and Fulton was arrested for suspected attempted strangulation. But after further investigation, the report was forwarded to the prosecutor’s office for review, and a warrant was issued for additional charges of suspected rape, aggravated assault and an enhancement for the use of a deadly weapon, according to Boise Police Department spokeswoman Haley Williams.
Officers arrested Fulton on the warrant without incident. He remains in the Ada County Jail on a $250,000 bond.
Fulton’s next court appearance is set for 8:30 a.m. March 13.
