(SCSO) Marshun Foxx, 42, was arrested on Monday and charged with aggravated rape and especially aggravated kidnapping for the following incident: On Monday at approximately 5:00 p.m., Memphis Police responded to a complaint in the 3600 block of Townes Street and were met by a female victim. She told them that last Friday, a man she knew as "Levi" drove up to her on Jackson Avenue in a grey sedan. Another man jumped out of the passenger side of the vehicle and allegedly put a gun to her head and forced her into the vehicle. Levi and the other man drove the victim to a barbershop on Jackson Avenue. Levi then drove off and the other man dragged the victim by her feet into a shed in the rear of the barbershop. Suspect involved in fight with MPD officer identified The victim told officers that the man then allegedly forced her to perform oral sex before attempting to penetrate her. She said that his attempts were unsuccessful. That's when the victim said he began to beat her with his fists and burned her with a blow torch on her back. After being held against her will for three days, the man finally let the victim go. As officers were taking the victim to Rape Crisis, she saw the man that sexually assaulted her and pointed him out to officers. The man was taken into custody and later identified as Marshun Foxx. The victim made a single-shot identification of Foxx, confirming he was the individual responsible for assaulting her. A man who asked not to be identified spoke with WREG about Foxx and said that he lives in the shed where he'd allegedly held the victim against her will.

"He done came at me one time like he was going to do something to me, so I just stopped messing with him," he said. He added that Foxx was known to have women in his shed. "He had women back there more than one time though," the man said. "I done seen them before cause I stay right up the street." As Memphis Police continue to investigate, the man said he hopes Foxx pays for what he's been accused of. "If he did wrong, he got to accept it," he said. Foxx is set to appear before a judge on October 9.
