WTMJ-TV reports 24-year-old Robert Brown is charged with robbery, kidnapping and sexual assault of a woman in the September incident. Authorities say evidence from the assault scene matched Brown's DNA in the state's database.
Authorities say Brown approached the victim as she was walking to a friend's house. She tells police he asked her for a cigarette before dragging her behind a house while holding a gun to her head. Police say he stole the woman's cellphone.
