BRANFORD, Conn. — Branford police said they arrested a Stamford man Thursday who is facing robbery and sexual assault charges in multiple incidents at a spa.
On Sept. 21 at 8:40 p.m., police said they went to Healthy Spa on 144 North Main St. for a robbery at knife point. A victim reported to police that a suspect "pulled a knife on them, physically assaulted and sexually assaulted one of the victims, and demanded money."
One of the victims told investigators that the same suspect entered the business on Aug. 26 while she was working alone at the spa, "held her at knife point, physically and sexually assaulted her and demanded money."
The investigations for both incidents led police to arrest Terrell Meynard, 42, of Stamford at New Haven Court.
For the Sept. 21 incident, Meynard is facing charges of robbery in the first degree, sexual assault in the third degree and threatening in the first degree.
For the Aug. 26 incident, police said Meynard is facing charges of robbery in the first degree, larceny in the third degree, sexual assault in the first degree and unlawful restraint in the first degree.
According to police, Meynard has been incarcerated since Oct. 7 for a similar crime that took place in Milford and is currently being held on a $300,000 bond.
Police credited the FBI, the West Haven Police Department, the Milford Police Department, the New Haven Police Department and the Dutchess County Sherriff's Office for their assistance in the investigation.
