TULSA – Last Tuesday, a local high school student reported that she used a vape pen at school and began feeling disoriented. She left the school and decided to walk home.
The victim reported that a SUV pulled up next to her, and the driver, later identified as Chadwick Harris, told her she looked pretty and offered her a ride.
Instead of driving the victim home, the victim reported that Harris parked and sexually assaulted her in the vehicle, then took her home.
At the victim’s house, the victim says when Harris dropped her off, he followed her inside the home. The victim went to the kitchen, grabbed a knife, and swung it at Harris. The victim said she wasn’t sure if she hit him, and said Harris kicked her in the stomach and left.
The victim was taken to the hospital, and we were notified of the incident.
Police later learned the victim did indeed stab Chadwick Harris during the altercation and he also went to a local hospital for treatment. Harris told hospital staff that a stranger stabbed him, and staff called police to investigate..
Harris initially claimed he had given a ride to a stranger who randomly stabbed him. Officers quickly determined the two calls were related. Harris changed his story multiple times, but did eventually say he met the victim and at one point was inside of her house.
Chadwick Harris was in the hospital recovering for several days under police guard. Harris is now booked into the Tulsa County Jail. He is charged with 1st degree rape, forcible sodomy and 1st degree burglary
