PRESTON, Idaho (AP) - A 20-year-old Wisconsin man is facing first-degree kidnapping charges after authorities say he kidnapped a 15-year-old Preston girl he met on the Internet and took her back to his home state.

Enrique Villagomez of Appleton, Wis., was extradited on Aug. 4 and is in the Caribou County Jail on $1 million bond.

Authorities say Villagomez befriended the girl on MySpace.com. They say he showed up in Franklin County in March and took the girl back to Appleton against her will.

Wisconsin authorities were alerted and arrested Villagomez upon his arrival and the girl was returned home. Villagomez's preliminary hearing is set for Sept. 15. before Magistrate Eric Hunn.
