A Columbia man was arrested early Tuesday morning on suspicion of 2nd degree robbery and deviate sexual assault.

Columbia Police said a woman reported that around 3:35 a.m. she was walking from a friend's house toward Providence when two male suspects on bicycles rode next to her.

Maxwell is in the Boone County Jail on suspicion of robbery in the second degree and forcible sodomy. The second suspect was not charged and was released from the Columbia Police Department.
