Sheriff’s deputies arrested a man at the Rutherford Grill Monday night after two female patrons each reported the man, who was naked in the women’s restroom, attempted to rape them.

When the deputies arrived, they found two men had barricaded Hugo Pacheco in the bathroom while waiting for law enforcement to get to scene, sheriff’s Capt. John Robertson said. “They found the suspect sitting in the back stall. He was fully clothed when the deputies got there.”

Two female customers told deputies they went to use the bathroom and they were attacked by Pacheco, Robertson said.

The women used the restroom separately. The first woman said when she walked into the restroom, Pacheco, who was naked, grabbed her and tried to pull her into the back stall, Robertson said. “She was able to get away, but the suspect tore her sweater.”

The next woman was allegedly attacked when she came out of the bathroom stall, he said. “Pacheco grabbed her and tried to pull her back inside the stall. She screamed for help and two men came to her rescue.”

It appears Pacheco entered the restaurant by the side door next to the restrooms, Robertson said.

Pacheco, 26, was arrested on suspicion of attempted rape.

" I can't believe it! Glad the women were safe and that the two men came to help. Maybe that back door entrance should be done away with, or something. "

" They should've locked the back door near the bathrooms, none of this would've happend if the door in the back would be locked up with the camera watching the back door. "

" It has always amazed me that people never look at solutions for the future but rather the shoulda, woulda coulda's. I understand that we learn from our mistakes and that things happen that are out of our control. Yet, locking the back door to Rutherford Grill (that was meant to give better access to the guests, which has a video camera on 24 hours a day)will not prevent all unfortunate events as the one that happend on Monday night. This same incident could have still occured having the suspects come through the front door. This story is very disturbing, and I hope that these two women will be able to move past this experience and will again have the chance to enjoy another dining experience at Rutherford Grill. The two men that came to their rescue are caring and kind men that should be proud to represent their sex. Many women are teased for going to the restroom in groups. I dont think it's funny any more.
