Alleged Oklahoma Teen Serial Burglar and Rapist Captured After Foot Pursuit

A 19-year-old Oklahoma man has been arrested and accused of rape and multiple burglaries in the Norman area.

News on 6 reported that Landon Appleby was arrested this week as he attempted to gain unlawful entry to another home.

Police responded to a call from a resident in an apartment complex on Alameda Street after they heard someone trying to open their front door. Following a foot pursuit, the police successfully apprehended the suspect.

Since September Appleby has been breaking into homes around 12th and Alameda Street.

“He would look for homes where he could make easy access or a door was left unlocked,” said Sarah Schettler, with the Norman Police Department.

Schettler said Appleby “most often, was found by the homeowner or resident standing in their bedroom.”

One victim woke to allegedly being raped by Appleby.

After being arrested, Appleby confessed to raping the victim, revealing that initially, she mistook him for her husband. Additionally, Appleby admitted to a series of home invasions and attempted burglaries, stating that his motive was to find the residents’ money.

On Friday, Appleby bond was set at $1,000,000.

Appleby faces charges including first-degree rape, multiple counts of first-degree burglary, second-degree burglary, and attempted burglary. He is currently held at the Cleveland County Detention Center as reported by KFOR.

Due to living in the area of the crimes, Appleby will be required to wear a GPS monitor and not have any contact with his victims if he can bond out.

The story is developing. Check back for updates.
