Arkansas– A man featured on America’s Most Wanted for a brutal attack on an Indiana woman in 2020 was arrested Thursday near Austin, Arkansas.
Paul Grisham was arrested on warrants out of Indianapolis on charges of rape, attempted capital murder, armed burglary and armed kidnapping.
On May 31, 2020, Indianapolis police responded to a hospital on a report of a woman suffering from brutal stab wounds and blunt force trauma.
