But police said they kept going.
Petit-Homme was the only man in the the alleged gang rape that was arrested.
He was in court Wednesday at the Brevard County Jail where a judge ordered he be held on a $200,000 bond.
"Plus the judge imposed a GPS device so we can keep track if he makes bond," said Assistant State Attorney Gary Beatty. "We'll know where he is and what he's doing."

Police say more arrests could be coming in this case.
"This is still an ongoing investigation," Beatty said. "Palm Bay police is conducting a further follow up investigation regarding this and any additional details would be premature for me to talk about."
