Woman lets wanted coworker move into her home

A Fayetteville man was arrested Saturday afternoon for outstanding warrants after authorities were called about a potential child molestation.

Newton County Sheriff's Lt. Keith Crum said that a woman called authorities reporting a rape. When deputies arrived a dispatch operator told them that a neighbor had called and said they could hear a woman and kids "screaming hysterically" and that a young boy was at the door to the home screaming, and a woman ran out into the street with a small female child. The neighbor said the woman was "rambling" that she had two kids and a male in the house, and that the male had a weapon and had been drinking.

When deputies made contact with the woman at the home, she identified the man inside as Nicholas Horacio Thompson, they learned he was a coworker of the woman, and she had recently allowed him to move into her home with her and her three small children. She reportedly told deputies that her 4-year-old daughter had made an outcry to her, saying that she had been molested by Thompson.

The claims made by the young girl are still under investigation. Thompson had several outstanding warrants from surrounding counties. He was arrested and transported to jail.
