2ND UPDATE: The arrest report for Ivon Major reveals that his mother is the person who turned him in.
According to the report, Major allegedly punched a maid who was cleaning a room at Boulder Station with his closed fist and then forced her to perform oral sex upon him.
The woman received visible injuries and was very shaken up during an interview with police.
According to the report, Major hit the woman multiple times, striking her face, head and body. He only stopped attacking her when another employee called out to the victim.
Police were able to gather several pieces of evidence from the room and surveillance video from hotel-casino security.
Major was arrested after his mother called police and told them that she recognized her son after the attack was reported by local media. She also told police her son was a drug user.
Police also spoke to Major's sister, who positively identified him. She also led police to a house that she knew her brother visited.
After Major's arrest, he admitted to being at Boulder Station. He claimed that he went into the hotel room to ask the maid if he could take a shower there even though he was not a guest.
He claims the maid was injured when he accidentally hit her with a door and she fell to the floor. When pressed about the extent of the victim's injuries, Major reportedly admitted he hit her a couple of times and took her cell phone.
Major also told police that he used drugs and sometimes he does not have control over his actions or remember what he has done when he is using. Initially, he claimed he did not remember anything between hitting the victim and leaving the hotel. However, he later admitted he remembered pulling down his pants.
Major expressed remorse for the incident and told police it would never happen again. He also stated that he needs help for his problem with drugs.
