Courtney Cowins, a suspect in the rape and beating of a Madison woman, turned himself in to police Wednesday night.
Cowins, 28, submitted himself to the Dane County Jail at 8 p.m., according to a police report, ending the manhunt that began on Tuesday when police issued a warrant for his arrest.
He is wanted in connection with an incident on Dec. 5, 2006, in which a man entered an unlocked apartment on Jana Lane on Madison's east side. The attacker proceeded to beat the 25-year-old female victim and threatened her with a handgun, then handcuffed and raped her. The intruder then burglarized the victim's home.
According to The Wisconsin State Journal, Cowins had agreed to turn himself in by 2 p.m. Wednesday, but did not arrive until later. It was not reported where Cowins was staying before the arrest or why he agreed to surrender.
Court records show that Cowins has previously been arrested for disorderly conduct, battery, bail jumping, traffic violations and theft. Police previously stated that Cowins was believed to be the same man who was looking in windows and acting suspiciously before the night of the attack.
He will be charged with kidnapping, false imprisonment, armed second-degree sexual assault, armed burglary, battery and first-degree reckless injury, according to the WSJ.
