Cobb police have arrested a McDonough man who allegedly picked up a 15-year-old girl, took her to area motels and sodomized her.

Between Aug. 1 and Sept. 30, Herrold Persel Davis allegedly picked up the girl from the Somerpoint Apartment Homes on Austell Road, took her to the Econo Lodge on Franklin Road as well as the Marietta Hotel on Northwest Parkway and molested her, police said.

Davis was 38 years old at the time of the alleged incidents, according to an arrest warrant that was issued last week.

He was arrested Friday and charged with two counts of aggravated child molestation, two counts of enticing a child for indecent purposes and one count of aggravated sexual battery.

Davis is in the Cobb County Adult Detention Center without bond.
