SHERIFF’S OFFICE LOOKING FOR SEXUAL BATTERY SUSPECTS 

The Volusia County Sheriff’s Office is seeking the public’s help in locating a man accused of barging into the Deltona home of a former girlfriend, now seven months pregnant, and sexually battering and robbing the woman. The attack occurred late Thursday night, and the 22-year-old victim told deputies that her ex-boyfriend had a knife and a male accomplice who was armed with a handgun. 

The victim said she was home with a male friend at approximately 11:30 p.m. when she heard a knock on the door. Her friend opened the door and was immediately hit in the face several times by the victim’s ex-boyfriend, 29-year-old Theodore Mack, which resulted in a laceration. The victim said that Mack and another man who the victim didn’t know forced their way inside and Mack sexually assaulted her. Afterwards, the victim said Mack stole some money from her and then the pair fled the home. The victim and her friend were treated at Florida Hospital Fish Memorial in Orange City and released. 

Mack is a black man who is approximately 6’3” tall, weighs about 270 pounds and has eight gold teeth. His last known address is 2621 Hartwell Ave., Sanford. Mack’s accomplice was described as a black male, 5’6” tall and weighing approximately 145 pounds. Circuit Court Judge Ed Sanders signed warrants Friday charging Mack with armed sexual battery and burglary. Judge Sanders ordered Mack held on $200,000 bond. Mack also is wanted for aggravated stalking in connection to a prior incident with the same victim. 

Anyone with information about Mack’s whereabouts or this incident is asked to contact Sheriff’s Sgt. Virgil Ford at (386) 860-7030 or Crime Stoppers of Volusia & Flagler Counties toll-free at 1-888-277-TIPS. Callers to Crime Stoppers will remain anonymous and can qualify for a reward of up to $1,000.
