News that Benjamin Obadiah Foster was in custody came after police said the suspect was seen walking a dog.
A man accused of kidnapping and torturing a woman in Oregon this month died from a self inflicted-gunshot wound following an hourslong standoff with authorities Tuesday night, a CNN affiliate reported.
News that Foster was in custody came after police said Foster was seen walking a dog in the Grants Pass area Tuesday morning. Prosecutors have accused Foster of trying to kill the woman while"intentionally torturing" her, according to charging documents obtained by CNN affiliate KDRV. The victim endured the alleged abuses for a"protracted amount of time," the police chief has said.
Foster and his victim had a"prior relationship," Hensman told CNN Monday. He did not provide further details but said,"This was not a random attack." "He's definitely a threat to others," the police chief said."I think he would be a threat to somebody who might befriend him."
