Auburn police charged Devonte Rashaud Hunter, 22, with first-degree attempted sodomy and second-degree possession of marijuana early Sunday morning, according to a release from the Auburn Police Divison.
At around 2 a.m. on Sunday, officers responded to a call at a bar in the 100 block of East Magnolia Avenue. Police arrived to find employees of the bar detaining Hunter.
