A homeless man wanted on an outstanding arrest warrant for an alleged sexual assault was arrested this morning at an encampment, according to a spokeswoman for the San Jose Police Department. 

Sharwian Bobian, 43, was arrested in January on suspicion of raping a woman who tried to give him food and supplies at a makeshift dwelling in the 14000 block of Llagas Avenue, near Llagas Creek in 
unincorporated Santa Clara County.%INLINE%

Bobian was released, sparking controversy, before charges were filed against him.

San Jose Police said a patrol officer located Bobian in the vicinity of Yerba Buena Road and U.S. Highway 101 around 9:30 a.m. this morning.

They've referred further questions to the Santa Clara County district attorney.
