CLEARWATER Detectives used DNA evidence to arrest a man Wednesday in connection with a December attack on a 17-year-old girl who was raped as she walked to her school bus stop. <\/p>\n

Dustin M. Kennedy, 28, was taken into custody at the Goodwill Residential Re-entry Center at 16432 U.S. 19 N in Clearwater on Wednesday afternoon. <\/p>\n

Pinellas sheriff's officials said Kennedy attacked the girl in the area of Whitney Road and Whitney Drive in unincorporated Clearwater on the morning of Dec. 18. <\/p>\n

The attacker grabbed the girl from behind, choked her and dragged her to a nearby ditch. The girl lost consciousness and the attacker raped her, sheriff's officials said. <\/p>\n

The attack prompted the Sheriff's Office to increase patrols in the area; some parents also elected to drive their children to their school bus stops afterward. <\/p>\n

The Pinellas County Forensic Laboratory later matched a DNA sample recovered after the attack with that of Kennedy, whose DNA information was in a state database. <\/p>\n

Kennedy was living at the re-entry facility, which has a contract with the Florida Department of Corrections. The facility is close to where the attack occurred. <\/p>\n

Re-entry facilities are designed to help prison inmates become law-abiding members of society, according to the DOC's website. <\/p>\n

In March, Kennedy was sentenced to 18 months in prison for burglary and grand theft out of Hillsborough County, state records show. He was scheduled to be released Feb. 13. <\/p>\n

Kenney also was in prison from 2005 to 2007 on burglary and grand theft charges. <\/p>\n
