A Mobile County man is currently in jail after allegedly kidnapping a woman, sexually assaulting her and forcing her to “marry” him.

According to the Mobile Coubty Sheriff’s Office, Roy Clowder encountered a woman at a convenience store on Dauphin Island Parkway on Friday evening. Clowder allegedly asked the woman if she could give him a ride home, and on the way to the car he uttered ah

Clowder allegedly took control of the vehicle by holding the victim at gunpoint and forcing her to get into the passenger seat.

Clowder then drove the car to a church, where he forced the woman to “marry” him on the steps outside the church, officials said.

“Clowder drove the victim’s car to several locations around DIP with the victim inside,” MCSO said in a statement. “Clowder even went to a local church and forced the victim to attend a ‘mock wedding’ on the steps outside the church.”

After her family called the police, officers called her. Clowder allegedly responded and then exited the vehicle.

Clowder faces three charges of sexual abuse, robbery and kidnapping – all in the first degree. He is currently being held without bail at the Mobile County Metro Jail.
