An apparent doorto- door vacuum salesman has been charged with rape in Kingfisher County.

Leviticus Joshua King, 43, who also goes by the alias of Joshua Aaron McMillan, was charged April 30 with first degree rape as well as a misdemeanor drug possession charge in Kingfisher County District Court.

King appeared in court that day and pleaded not guilty. He will reappear at 1:30 p.m. Thursday, May 29.

According to a probable cause affidavit, Kingfisher Police Department officers were dispatched to Payless Inn on Frontage Road on the south end of Kingfisher.

A “frantic” woman told officers she was raped by King in the motel room in which they were both staying, according to the affidavit.

Both King and the accuser are from out of state.

The accuser told officers that she met King in the Denver airport and they kept in contact, then traveled to Kingfisher via car from Nebraska on April 22.

Their purpose, according to the report, was to sell Kirby vacuums doorto- door in Yukon, but Kingfi sher’s motel was chosen due to its low boarding cost. According to the report, the woman said King demanded she perform “sexual” acts with him in order to be allowed to stay in the room. She told officers she refused, but King eventually raped her, according to the report.

Officers took the woman to the police station and she agreed to take a Sexual Assault Nurse Examiner (SANE) test.

When officers returned to talk with King, he refused to do so without an attorney and was taken into custody, the report said.

In executing a search warrant, officers located a pill that was later determined to be hydrocodone as well as firearms and ammunition, according to the report.

A second search warrant obtained after discovering the hydrocodone uncovered a hip flask wrapped inside several grocery bags.

Inside the flask, according to the report, was a substance later determined to be ketamine, a schedule III controlled substance.

The felony rape charge is punishable by five years to life in prison.

The drug charge carries a prison sentence of up to one year and a fine up to $1,000.

Associate District Judge Lance Schneiter set King’s bond at $150,000. As of press time, King remained in custody at the Kingfisher County Criminal Justice Center.
