ALBUQUERQUE, N.M. (AP) - Authorities have arrested a man who they say raped a fellow patient at an Albuquerque hospital.
Albuquerque police arrested 22-year-old Anthony Casiquito on Tuesday after they say he raped a woman Monday night while she slept at Lovelace Westside Hospital.

He was still at the county jail Wednesday night.
