Devin Christopher Reese, 35, is a suspect in two separate cases from April and May.

COMMERCE CITY, Colo. — Police have arrested a man accused in sexual assaults in Commerce City and Thornton.

In June, Commerce City detectives investigating that crime found out about another sexual assault and aggravated robbery with the same suspect. That alleged crime, which involved a different victim, happened May 10 in a car the suspect was driving in Thornton, according to the affidavit.
