Hapeville police are looking for a man accused of raping a woman last month at a local motel.

Crime Stoppers Atlanta released a photo of the man, who authorities say should be considered armed and dangerous.

He has dreadlocks, light brown eyes and half sleeve tattoos on both arms. His right forearm has “Either them or us” on it in red bubble letters, according to Channel 2 Action News.

In an interview with the television station, the alleged victim said she was raped Aug. 20 at a Hapeville motel.

The man, investigators said, held a semi-automatic pistol to the woman’s head and demanded sexual acts. The woman told Channel 2 she begged the man not to shoot her because she has kids. The Atlanta Journal-Constitution does not identify victims of sex crimes.

“All I could think about was don’t let the gun go off,” the woman said. “Just don’t let the gun go off.”

Before he left, the man threatened the woman, she told Channel 2.

“He took my ID,” she said. “He told me he’ll be back to my address.”

Anyone who recognizes the man in the picture is asked to call Hapeville police or Crime Stoppers at 404-577-8477.
