Shortly before 1:30 a.m., police were called to Visions Dance Club, located at 1021 Kroger Center Boulevard, for a report of an attempted rape.

The victim screamed, and several people inside the club came to her aid, and the suspect fled. The woman was not hurt during the incident.

Police detained a man matching the description of the suspect during a traffic stop, and the victim identified him.

Broaddus, of the 5900 block of Essling Road, was arrested and charged with attempted rape.
