PORTLAND (AP) – A man wanted in connection with the rape and attempted murder of a woman in Greensboro, N.C., waived extradition during a brief hearing Friday in Portland District Court.
Kim Ngeth agreed to be returned to North Carolina a day after he was arrested without incident after the U.S. Marshals Service told local police they believed he was in Portland.
Ngeth, 33, will be held without bail until law enforcement authorities from North Carolina retrieve him.
On Thursday, law enforcement officers staked out about a dozen different addresses before Sgt. Danny Young spotted a car matching the description of Ngeth’s brown Volkswagen Jetta on Park Avenue.
Ngeth, who was stopped at gunpoint, has been charged of beating and raping a shopping mall store clerk in Greensboro on Tuesday.
He is accused of choking the woman with a rope in the back room of a home decorating store before knocking her unconscious and raping her.
The woman was treated at a Greensboro hospital and released.
