Trost, 19, was arrested on 13 charges including sexual assault with a weapon, first degree kidnapping, robbery with a deadly weapon, sexual assault with a victim under 16 and burglary with a deadly weapon, Metro Police said.

Trost is alleged to have assaulted two women, one of them a teenager, about midnight Sunday in the parking lot of Desert Springs Hospital, police said.

The investigation into the case continues, police said.
