When he arrived, he had a gun in his hand, police said.
Carter-Hickmon took her to an Arlington motel where he sexually assaulted her and recorded a video with a gold-colored iPhone, police said.
He later dropped her off at a gas station and drove away, police said.
While standing outside the gas station at 3 a.m., she met a concerned couple who decided to help her by renting her another motel room so she could arrange to return to Stephenville.
Officers found her at that motel last Wednesday after someone called 911 and hung up, police said.
