LUFKIN — A convicted Nacogdoches murderer turned himself in Monday as a suspect in a Lufkin rape. Rickie Griffin, released on parole in October 2002 for the 1988 stabbing death of a man, was taken into custody after a woman he knows told police he raped her Oct. 30.
Griffin is being charged with second-degree felony sexual assault. If convicted, he faces up to 20 years in prison on the new charge. He was to be on parole until 2021 on the murder charge, according to public information.
