On May 8, at around 12:32 a.m., Stratford police officers were dispatched to a residence for a report of a home invasion burglary and sexual assault. 

The victim, a 76-year-old woman, told police that while she was asleep in her bedroom, a man entered her room, jumped on top of her, and held her down. 

She told police that the suspect then placed a hand over her mouth, sexually assaulted her, and ultimately fled the residence. 

On June 13, the New Jersey State Police laboratory notified police that Combined DNA Index System (CODIS) results identified Bullock as the source of the DNA from the crime scene.

That same day, U.S. Marshals arrested the 32-year-old in Hi-Nella.

He was remanded to the Camden County Correctional Facility, pending trial.
