Montgomery County police have detained a suspect in the alleged sexual assault that occurred on August 14, 2025, at a Rockville gas station. According to authorities, Carlos St. James Hover, 34, of Washington, DC, entered the gas station early that evening and reportedly assaulted and raped the victim inside. Hover was apprehended by police after cops responding to a bank robbery call the next morning in Wheaton recognized the suspect in that armed robbery because he was wearing some of the same unique attire described by the rape victim the night before.
Hover was taken to the county’s Central Processing Unit and charged with first-degree rape, first-degree assault, armed robbery, resisting arrest, and other connected offenses. He is being held without a bond.
