(CNN) A Mississippi man has been arrested after authorities said he faked his own death to avoid prosecution in the alleged rape of his 14-year-old stepdaughter.

Jacob Blair Scott, 43, was arrested Wednesday, the same day he was added to the US Marshals 15 Most Wanted list, according to US Marshals Inspector Jeremy Stilwell.

Authorities found Scott in the Antlers, Oklahoma, area after a tip to the Pushmataha County Sheriff's Office said an individual fitting his description was living there in an RV. Authorities responded and found the RV, Stilwell said.

Scott initially refused to cooperate and denied his identity, Stilwell said Thursday. It wasn't until authorities verified his tattoos that Scott admitted he was the man they were looking for.

Scott has been indicted on 14 counts, including sexual battery, touching a child for lustful purposes and exploitation of a child, Stilwell said. He's also wanted by federal authorities in Mississippi for unlawful flight to avoid prosecution.
