43-year-old Robert McClanaghan of Warwick was arrested Friday in East Greenwich, R.I., by Boston Police on charges of rape and drugging for intercourse.
Police said that McClanaghan was already wanted on a warrant that was issued on Thursday.
He is set to be arraigned on Monday at the Third District Court in Kent County, Rhode Island, where he will be charged as a fugitive of justice.
