Inmate accused of trying to rape two nurses while at Mount Nittany in State College

STATE COLLEGE, Pa. (WTAJ) — A State College inmate was arrested Friday for allegedly trying to rape two nurses at Mount Nittany Medical Center. Conner C. Patterson, 26, was charged with two counts of attempted rape and indecent assault and three counts of assault with deadly force. His bail was denied, citing his being homeless and for violent crimes against nursing staff. According to the criminal complaint, State College police were called to Mount Nittany on Wellness Way at 9:06 a.m. April 11, in regard to an assault of two nurses. While speaking with one of the victims, police were told Patterson was in a room and made a comment about needing sex. Roughly 20 minutes later, Patterson left the room, grabbed a nurse by the hair and dragged them back into the room, according to a victim's account with police. She went on to say Patterson pushed her against the bed and tried to pull her pants down. Thwarted State College school attack meant to coincide with Columbine anniversary Charging documents show that a second nurse heard the first one yelling for Patterson to get off of him and she hit an emergency button to alert security before running into the room to help. The second victim claimed Patterson pushed her against a wall and pulled her pants down. That's when hospital security showed up to step in. The Director of Emergency Services told police that as they tried to subdue Patterson, he pushed them against a wall, causing neck and shoulder pain, the complaint was in Centre County Prison awaiting criminal proceedings in a robbery case from March when he allegedly tried to steal a $3.50 can of beer from a State College store.

That person told police she didn't know Patterson and she just noticed the bottle missing, a previous complaint reads. A preliminary hearing on the attempted rape charges is scheduled for April 16.
