A man wanted for raping child here in Jackson has been arrested in Kentucky. 

The U.S. Marshal Service announced the arrest, Tuesday of Juan Luis Bocanegra. A warrant was issued for his arrest in September of last year for the alleged rape of a 10-year-old child.  The warrant indicates the crime occurred over a two-year period and investigators said he fled the area. Bocanegra was found in a restaurant in Madisonville, Kentucky , Monday after agents received a tip. 
 
He is being held in the Hopkins County jail, awaiting extradition back to Tennessee.
