HONOLULU (AP) - The U.S. Marshals Service says it's arrested a U.S. Navy sailor wanted for allegedly raping a boy in Memphis, Tennessee.

John Davis was arrested Friday at Marine Corps Base Hawaii in Kaneohe on a warrant issued by the Shelby County Sheriff's Office in Memphis.

Davis' rank and unit were not immediately available.

The Marshals Service says the 30 year-old Davis transferred to Hawaii from Memphis. It says the warrant was issued July 2, accusing Davis of holding a gun to a boy while molesting him.

Davis is being held at the Oahu Community Correctional Center while he faces hearings for extradition to Tennessee.

Navy Region Hawaii says it's unable to provide information on Davis or the case because of the ongoing investigation.
