A man wanted for attempted first degree murder in North Carolina was arrested by officers with the Lincolnton Police Department and the Lincoln County Sheriff's Office Thursday, July 10.

According to Jim Justice, chief of police, "At 11:18 a.m., we received a call in reference to an individual climbing through the front window of a residence on Goshen Street. After back-up arrived, we knocked on the door but no one responded."

The suspect then apparently overheard a conversation between the police chief and the owner of the residence. He subsequently walked out of the front door and was taken into custody.

Victor Jerome Wade, 23, is currently awaiting extradition to North Carolina.
