Kidnap, assault allegations put Lawton man behind bars

A woman suffered multiple broken bones to her face and hands as well as severe bruising and spinal damage she said was caused by a Lawton man who kidnapped and assaulted her.

The suspect, who has five other criminal convictions, is back behind bars on $500,000 bond.

Eric Lashun Guice, 32, made his initial appearance Thursday in Comanche County District Court where he received felony counts of aggravated assault and battery and kidnapping, records indicate.

Lawton police were called shortly before 11:45 p.m. Nov. 30 to an apartment in the 4300 block of Southeast Camelot Drive regarding a domestic incident and arrived to find the woman suffering “great bodily injuries,” according to Officer Brittany Holloway. The woman said her ex-boyfriend, Guice, caused her injuries, the probable cause affidavit states. She was taken to a local hospital for treatment.

The woman told police Guice had kidnapped her on Nov. 27 and took her to a room at Motel 6, 202 E. Lee, where she said he raped her the next day, according to the affidavit.

She said he let her leave only to kidnap her again by putting a knife to her throat on Nov. 30, the affidavit states. She said he again took her to the Motel 6 and raped her by strangulation before taking her to the home on Camelot Drive, Holloway stated.

Once at the home, she said, Guice used a glass bottle to hit her on the head, eyes, legs and back before strangling her, according to the affidavit. When Guice began to drive in the parking lot, the woman said she jumped out of the vehicle and he began to chase her until she made it to an apartment and called 911. The victim’s injuries were consistent with her statement, according to Holloway.

Guice was located by police and arrested at the room at the Motel 6. Holloway stated Guice has several previous sexual battery allegations, the affidavit states.

Guice has prior felony convictions in Comanche County: June 2009, unlawful possession of contraband in a penal institution and possession of controlled drug with intent to distribute; August 2010, possession of a firearm after former felony conviction; July 2011, felon in possession of a firearm; and February 2019, possession of a firearm after former felony conviction, records indicate.

Held on bond with the stipulation he have no contact with the woman, Guice returns to court at 3 p.m. March 12, 2024, for his preliminary hearing conference.
