The arrest was made at about No-passing zone 2:30 p.m. Thursday, said Lt. Rich Maricelli of the Missoula County Sheriff’s Department. Neither the sheriff’s department nor the the county attorney’s office would release the man’s name or details about the arrest. Earlier this week, Maricelli asked for public assistance in identifying the man police said kidnapped and raped a 21-year- old female UM student on Saturday morning. Police said the woman was parking her truck in the lot south of Pantzer Hall at about 10:30 Saturday morning when she was approached by a man she did not know. The woman told police the man asked for a ride to his stranded vehicle and as she was driving him, he pulled out a large-caliber handgun and instructed her to continue driving to Deer Creek Road southeast of Missoula. She said the man forced her to participate in sever- al sexual acts before she was able to escape from the vehicle with her assailant’s gun. Maricelli said Monday that the perpetrator would face charges of rape and kidnapping. The woman and her family are recov- ering well, he said.
