CLARKSVILLE, Tenn. – 38-year-old Robert Lindlau of Clarksville has been indicted on two counts of rape.

A press release from Clarksville police said on March 17, 2015, while Lindlau was employed as an assistant manager at a local Dollar General, he caught two women shoplifting and escorted them to an office in the back of the store.

He told the women that the police had been called but it would be about an hour before the police arrived. No call to police had ever been made.

Lindlau allegedly locked the door, placing the women in fear, and had them perform sexual favors on him. Afterward, he let them go and allowed them to take some of the items they had attempted to shoplift.
