The assistant manager of a Tennessee Dollar General store is accused of raping two women he caught shoplifting.

Clarksville police claim Robert Lindlau, 38, locked two women he caught shoplifting in the store in his office on March 17, 2015. He allegedly told them he called police when he actually didn't.

Lindau was indicted on two counts of rape, Clarksville police announced on Wednesday.

"He locked the door, placing the women in fear, and had them perform sexual favors on him," Clarksville police stated in a press release.

Police responded an hour later and after, authorities say, Lindau allowed the shoplifters to return some of the items they tried to shoplift.
