Anderson man bound over for trial on sodomy charge

 

An Anderson man was bound over for trial after waiving his preliminary hearing Wednesday in McDonald County Circuit Court.

Craig Alan Ruble, 40, is scheduled to be arraigned 9 a.m. May 18 in the trial court.

Ruble allegedly forced a woman to perform oral sex on him September 5.

The charge involved an act that allegedly took place September 5 when Ruble asked a friend to bring him food, according to the probable cause statement.

When they were inside the residence, Ruble exposed himself to the woman and ordered her to perform oral sex on him, according to the probable cause statement.

After 10 to 15 minutes, they were interrupted and the woman was able to flee, the statement said.

From the probable cause statement:

Ruble has a known history to resist arrest, by fleeing, using violence and deception to evade capture. Ruble has been charged multiple times with Domestic Assault and has been convicted of violating an Order of Protection as well as multiple other narcotics charges.

 

The case was investigated by the Anderson Police Department.
