A 25-year-old man wanted for murdering a woman in North Carolina knocked on the back door of the Warrenton Police station Friday night to turn himself in.
David Isaiah Godwin, of Newport, North Carolina, told a Warrenton officer that the police were “looking for me,” and he was wanted for murder.
The officer found Godwin had an arrest warrant out of North Carolina for homicide and dismemberment and was listed as armed and dangerous.
According to North Carolina media reports, Godwin is accused of murdering 37-year-old Wendy Tamagne in her apartment Tuesday evening. Officers said the woman was found beaten, strangled, stabbed, and her body was dismembered.
Godwin was arrested without incident and booked into Clatsop County Jail.
A detective from Morehead City Police Department in North Carolina was contacted by Warrenton Police and will be starting the process to bring Godwin back to face charges.
Godwin faces no local charges and is believed to have possibly taken a bus from North Carolina to Oregon, according to police.
