A 27-year-old Middletown man wanted in a Dayton rape case was jailed Tuesday on gun charges.

Demetrius Tamar Sellers will be arraigned Wednesday in Dayton Municipal Court after he was arrested around 2:20 a.m. in the 4000 block of Vina Villa Avenue in Dayton on suspicion of improper handling of a firearm in a motor vehicle, carrying concealed weapons and having weapons while under disability, according to Montgomery County Jail records.

Sellers also faces an obstruction charge and a misdemeanor for failure to comply with an order or signal of a police officer.

Sellers was indicted Jan. 27 on one count of rape by a Montgomery County grand jury. A warrant for Sellers’ arrest was issued following his indictment, but he was not arrested and did not appear at his arraignment in Montgomery County Common Pleas Court, according to the prosecutor’s office. Sellers now is scheduled to appear Thursday for the rape case in Montgomery County Common Pleas Court.
