A 31-year-old man was arrested for attempting to rape a 19-year-old woman on Johns Hopkins University’s campus on Saturday night, according to officials.

Police said they were able to track down the suspect, Raymond Willis Lunn, through a tip sent into law enforcement. Lunn was taken into custody by Baltimore County Police on the 8100 block of Harford Road on Tuesday. He was later charged at the Central Booking and Intake Center, officials said.

His charges were not immediately available to the public.

Col. John Herzog of the Baltimore Police Department said Lunn is “a sex offender that has an extensive criminal history in a neighboring jurisdiction, including prior convictions for attempted rape, armed robbery, kidnapping, assault, burglary, auto theft, violation of probation and more.”
