Benito Arizmendi-Martinez was taken into custody Tuesday night. Police checked several addresses in Castle Rock after learning Arizmendi-Martinez frequently visited his brother there.

Authorities in Utah say the girl was raped in her home where at least four other families live, including the family of Arizmendi-Martinez. Investigators say the victim's family member interrupted the assault, which happened last weekend.

Arizmendi-Martinez is being held on $200,000 bond. It is not known when he will be sent back to Utah to face charges.
