(CNN) A man has been arrested and is facing charges after authorities say he impersonated a rideshare driver in Seattle and then raped a woman who got in his vehicle. Israel Ramos-Islas, 34, turned himself in Wednesday after a family member recognized an image of him in news reports, according to a news release from the King County Sheriff's Office. A King County judge on Thursday found probable cause to hold Ramos-Islas in the county jail on $750,000 bond. Ramos-Islas is expected in court Monday and will be formally charged with first-degree rape, according to Dan Katzer, a spokesman for the King County prosecutor. The King County Sheriff's Office said in its statement that so far, detectives have been unable to connect the man to any rideshare companies.
