SHREVEPORT, La. (AP) - A roofer suspected of raping a newlywed woman after tying up her husband at their Shreveport apartment has been captured in Texas.

Alfredo Rodriguez Gonzalez, 29, was arrested over the weekend in New Braunfels by a fugitive task force, authorities said. He was being held pending an extradition hearing on an aggravated rape charge.

Authorities also said immigration authorities have placed a hold on Gonzalez because he is in the United States illegally.

The alleged rape on Sept. 9 at an apartment complex where Gonzalez had been working, investigators said. The attack took place after two men knocked on the victims' door asking for water, police said.

The couple's pickup truck was found last week at a motel in Austin. Police said Gonzalez was driving the truck when he was picked up in Kauffman County, Texas, for not having a driver's license. But the truck had not yet been reported stolen and he was released the next morning, police said.
