(KAIR)--Additional charges are filed against the Montana man arrested this week in Atchison in connection with a runaway teenage girl, with both located at a city hotel Tuesday.

According to a release from Atchison Police Chief Mike Wilson, 20-year-old Osias Everson, on Thursday morning, was arrested by Atchison Police on a State of Missouri warrant charging him with child kidnapping.

The arrest was made as Everson was already in custody in the Atchison County Jail, held on a charge of rape, in connection with the Atchison Police investigation that led to Everson's initial arrest Wednesday.

That followed police, according to Wilson, discovering Everson and the 13-year-old at an Atchison hotel Tuesday night.

The search for the pair began after the Atchison Police Department, Tuesday night around 10:00, was "notified that the Phelps County, Missouri Sheriff- Department was looking for a 13 year old female who had been missing since Monday night."

The release from Wilson says the child kidnapping charge was filed Wednesday by the 25th Circuit Court in Phelps Count, Missouri. The bond on the warrant is set at $500,000.

The joint investigation between Atchison Police and Phelps County, Missouri authorities is continuing.
