Pekin, Ind. - A U.S. Census worker has been charged with rape and burglary, after two women in southern Indiana claim they were attacked. One of the victims was a 21 year-old physically handicapped woman. According to the U.S. Census Bureau, he had been with the agency for two weeks.

The attack occurred Saturday morning in Pekin, Indiana in Washington County.

Police said the man broke in while a mother and daughter slept and attacked them. According to investigators, the mother had taken a mild sleeping pill. The man, identified as 39 year-old Daniel Miller, was arrested following the incident. He said he worked for the government.

Four days before the attack, neighbors in the area say they saw Miller in the area on census business. The victim told police Miller had asked about their census information. She said they had already submitted the form. She also told police that Miller stuck around and tried to get more details.

"It's unbelievable that somebody could do something like that and not have a conscience and worry about it," said resident Debbie Bishop.

Miller's apartment is located right across the road from a middle school. When a news crew knocked on the door of his apartment, another man answered. He did not want to go on camera or be identified, however, he did say Miller had two daughters of his own.

Miller was taken to the Washington County Detention Center, held on a $150,000 bond.

There are about 635,000 U.S. Census workers currently going door to door counting Americans who did not return their surveys. They will carry white badges with blue writing. The badges do not have photos. Census workers should also be carrying black canvas shoulder bags and brochures printed in 51 languages. If asked, the census takers are supposed to give you a supervisor's number to call.

A few hours later one of the management crew had knocked on my door, but again I paid it no attention as someone had been knocking at the neighbor's door all weekend. All of a sudden I heard the lock working and jumped up out of my chair to grab my pistol.

By the time the door opened the pistol was a few feet away but my "chair against the door" trick kept him from opening the door more than a few inches. Apparently I scared the hell out of him as he certainly looked quite surprised, and started immediately apologizing. I probably have a pretty decent glare at the least which is nice to know...

I had my own visit this week, but I'll post its own thread...
