When officers arrived at the scene, they found Basque and arrested him on outstanding warrants for sexual assault and unlawful confinement.

The charges stem from an alleged incident at a business near 50 Street and 101 Avenue Friday morning.

A 36-year-old woman told police she was working alone around 4:30 a.m. on Friday when a man walked in to the business.

The woman said he locked the door and sexually assaulted her after a struggle and trying to drag her to the back of the business.
