Hollister Police arrested a man wanted for rape, rape of a child and other sexual assault charges in the State of Oregon.

On July 4th just before noon, he was seen parked in a handicapped space at Vista Park Hill. There were three people who appeared to be sleeping in the car without a placard.

The State of Oregon said they would extradite Heflin if he was arrested in another state.

He was arrested by Hollister Police and taken to the San Benito County Jail.
