A 33-year-old Dayton woman said she asked Curry to pick her up from a doctor appointment Tuesday at the Five Rivers Health Center, 721 Miami Chapel Road, and that he refused to take her home, according to an affidavit.

The woman “reported that Curry punched her, struck her in the back with a metal rod, choked her unconscious and raped her before taking her home,” the affidavit stated.

The incidents reportedly happened between 11 a.m. Tuesday and 6:30 a.m. Wednesday in multiple locations, including the 1600 block of North Gettysburg Avenue, the 4100 block of Freudenberger Avenue and the 1500 block of West Fifth Street, according to the court document.

Curry is in the Montgomery County Jail.
