Mast has waived extradition to Wisconsin, but Missouri plans to prosecute first.
Mast is jailed on $100,000 cash-only bond.
He was arrested in May after authorities were contacted by members of the Pike County, Mo., Amish community, an "Old Order Amish" community that shuns such amenities as electricity, phones and cars.
