A Flomaton man was arrested on rape charges on March 29, according to the Escambia County Sheriff’s Department.

Chief Deputy Mike Lambert said warrants were served on Trey Alexander Weekes, 20, who was arrested on two counts of rape II.

“Both female victims in the case were under the age of 16,” Lambert said.

Brooks said the Atmore Police Department contacted the ECSO in reference to a complaint they received on Feb. 10, 2017, of the allegations that were made against Weekes. He added that the APD, FPD and Poarch Police Department assisted with the investigation.

A short time after Weekes was arrested for rape, he was also arrested and charged with allegedly providing marijuana to a minor. He was charged with unlawful possession of a controlled substance and distribution of drugs to a minor.

Brooks said the rape case will be presented to the Escambia County grand jury, and Weekes remains in the county detention center awaiting a bond hearing.
