A Bossier Parish man has been arrested on charges he tried to rape his housekeeper.
Villalt Carlos "Santos" Canales, 32, of the 500 block of Rubicon Road in Benton, was arrested Thursday.
Bossier Parish sheriff's deputies said the woman told them she had gone to Canales' residence to do housekeeping on Wednesday when he tried to remove her clothes and have sex with her. She struggled and got away, deputies said, ran to a neighbor’s house and called 911.
After an all-night search, Canales was arrested about 6 a.m. Thursday.
Sheriff's deputies said Canales, who is a horse trainer, was in the country illegally. They said he has been deported at least twice -- in 1999 and in 2004.
