Chatfield, MN (KROC-AM News) - A man wanted on attempted murder charges in Tennessee was taken into custody late Wednesday afternoon in Olmsted County.

A statement issued by the Olmsted County Sheriff's Department says 47 year old David Gary was arrested without incident outside a rural home about a mile and a half northwest of Chatfield around 5:45 p.m. The local Emergency Response Unit was dispatched to the property at 11429 Mill Creek Road SE after the Sheriff's Department received information from the Knoxville Tennessee Police Department that Gary might be at the residence.

Authorities in Knoxville indicated Gary, who is a dentist, is accused of raping and stabbing a woman outside a motel last week.

Olmsted County officials say he is now being held at the Olmsted County Jail pending his extradition to Tennessee.
