A 36-year-old Broadway man was charged Tuesday after Sanford police said he sexually assaulted a 21-year-old woman Monday in the Walmart on N.C. Highway 87.
William James Wilson, of 3151 Rosser Pittman Road, faces one count of sexual battery. The victim told authorities Wilson fondled her.
Employees of the Walmart intervened to stop the assault, police said, and detained Wilson until authorities arrived.
Wilson was in the Lee County jail Wednesday under a $10,000 bond.
