A 37-year-old man recently released from prison is back in jail, charged with a weekend sexual assault in Tuscaloosa.

On Saturday, Tuscaloosa police and Tuscaloosa Metro Homicide Unit investigators were dispatched about 10 p.m. to the 4400 block of 21st Street. The victim told lawmen that Lamont Cooper, who was released from prison two weeks ago, sexually assaulted her, said Capt. Gary Hood.

Cooper had fled the scene, and a lookout bulletin was issued for him. Investigators and Tuscaloosa officers launched a search for him, and he was found at a home in the 1500 block of 44th Avenue.

He was taken into custody, and booked into the Tuscaloosa County Jail with bonds set at $110,000.

Court records show Cooper was convicted in 1997 of two counts of first-degree robbery and one count of theft of property. Cooper carried out armed robberies at Flowers Discount Bakery and a gas station in Tuscaloosa. In the robbery cases, he was sentenced to 20 years in prison in each case, to be served concurrently. He was sentenced to four years in prison for the theft of property conviction.

He was released from prison June 6, 2015, according to court records. It wasn't immediately clear whether he was then sent to a halfway house or other corrections program.

Cooper was also convicted in 1996 on one count of drug possession. He was sentenced to one year in prison in that case.
