A Fort Worth man is behind bars after police said he broke into an elderly woman's home and sexually assaulted her.
Police said it happened in the early morning hours on Sunday. A man, impersonating a police officer, forced his way into the 78-year-old woman's home in the 2900 block of Burton Avenue.
Once he was inside, he demanded money from the woman, threatened her with a knife, and then sexually assaulted her, according to police.
