(KOH) – A suspect in an Ohio murder has been arrested in Carlin after threatening to kill himself during a traffic stop. Carlin Police Chief Dennis Fobes says 46-year-old Matthew Dempsey of Ohio is being held in the Elko County Jail awaiting extradition. He’s wanted as a suspect in the killing of his 47-year-old girlfriend, Gina Mann, whose body was found Sunday in their garage in Ohio.
An officer tried to stop Dempsey Tuesday for making an illegal turn, but he refused to stop and pointed a rifle at his head before he was persuaded to surrender. Dempsey told police he planned to commit suicide in the California Redwoods.
