A suspect from Mexico was arrested in connection with a Jackson Co. rape earlier this month.

According to Jackson Co. Sheriff's Co., Antonio Ramirez-Garcia is facing a single count of rape and is currently being held in the Jackson Co. Jail on $50,000.

Sheriff Tim Morse says his detectives tracked Ramirez-Garcia, 38, to Topeka where he was captured.

According to Morse, the rape occurred in the early morning hours of February 10 in Holton. He did not release any more details about the attack.

The Jackson Co. Sheriff's Office says Ramirez-Garcia, whose hometown is listed as Oaxaca, in southern Mexico, is in the country illegally.
