An Alabama man arrested after the stabbing and attempted rape of a woman in a park earlier this month was granted early release from prison on a prior rape conviction from nearly two decades ago, authorities say.

Bernard Christopher Abney, 40, is currently charged with a Sex Offender Registration Notification Act violation, according to Mobile County Sheriff’s Office records reviewed by Law&Crime.

The defendant is also the prime suspect in the stabbing of a 21-year-old woman who was attacked in Heritage Park during the late afternoon on Jan. 17, according to a series of press releases and wanted posters issued by the Foley Police Department on Facebook.

After releasing several different images alleged to be Abney culled from various surveillance videos, he was arrested on Saturday.
