Police said the alleged rape occurred around 3 a.m. March 2 in the parking lot of the Zaxby’s restaurant at 743 Pleasant Hill Road in Lilburn. The victim and Powers had a previous relationship, Lilburn Police Chief Bruce Hedley said.

“This was not a random assault,” Hedley said.

Powers is being held at the Gwinnett County Detention Center without bond.
