Little Rock man held in rape of hotel co-worker

A Little Rock man was arrested Friday and charged in the rape of a co-worker at a hotel in April, court documents show.

North Little Rock police officers arrested Gregory D. Johnson, 33, on a charge of felony rape, according to an arrest report.

On April 21, a woman who worked at the Wyndham Hotel on Riverfront Place said Johnson entered the room she was cleaning, shut the door and held her down by her throat as he raped her on the bed, an affidavit for Johnson's arrest said. The woman recounted hitting Johnson and repeatedly asking him to stop, the affidavit said.

Johnson told an officer that he believed the intercourse to be consensual, the affidavit said. The officer reported seeing several scratches on Johnson's forehead.

Johnson was in the Pulaski County jail Wednesday in lieu of a $500,000 bond, according to the jail's roster.
