DADE CITY

Man Arrested in invasion and assault

A stranger with a handgun forced his way into a woman's Lake Avenue home in the early morning hours of April 21. He forced the woman to perform a sex act on him while he held the gun to her head, Dade City police said. Then he left with the victim's cell phone, wallet and cash. Last month, police said, the Florida Department of Law Enforcement crime lab matched DNA from the scene to Mandarin Heshami Colbert, 30, whose last known address was 38344 Hampton Ave., Dade City. Police arrested him Wednesday when Colbert arrived at the Parole and Probation office in Dade City for a scheduled appointment. He is charged with home invasion robbery and sexual battery with a deadly weapon, and was held in lieu of $200,000 bail.
