An affidavit filed with the arrest warrant said Hooper was leaving the upscale Ravello Ristorante in downtown Montgomery on Aug. 16 when he approached the victim from behind at the host stand.
"The suspect grabbed the victim's breasts and waist while shoving his pelvis against the victim's backside. He then began kissing her neck before she was able to break free," according to the affidavit.
