Two sexual assaults were reported to law enforcement in the early morning of July 5, according to a Lincoln County Sheriff’s Office.

The first call was made by an unidentified man at 1:42 a.m. about the rape of his 44-year-old daughter at the weigh station near the intersection of Highway 2 and Highway 56 in Troy. The suspect was unknown. According to the release, the victim is now at home in Noxon.

Lincoln County Sheriff Roby Bowe said that the crime was committed in the very early morning hours of July 5, but a description of the accused assailant was not available.

The second second sex crime was reported at 4:44 a.m. A woman stated to the officer on site that she was raped in an alley in Troy, although the exact location, suspect description and time of incident were not released.
