Sheriff Johnny Philpot said investigators reported that Erwin Angel Ware, 55, was being held at the jail on unrelated charges stemming from cases in Caddo and Kiowa Counties and Sebastian County, Ark.
Court records indicate that, in the Sequoyah County case, Ware is charged with one count of first-degree rape and one court of second-degree rape. Philpot said investigators reported the charges stem from incidents that took place about 10 years ago involving one of Ware's juvenile female family members.
Ware is now being held in the county jail on charges of first-degree rape and second-degree rape. Jail records indicate that Ware is currently being held without bond on these charges. Jail records further indicate that Ware is also still being held on unrelated charges in Sebastian County and Kiowa and Caddo Counties.
