SAGINAW CO. -- Monday, the man who walked into the Saginaw County Courthouse last week and turned himself in for killing two women and an unborn child will likely be back on his way to Arkansas.

Fort Smith Arkansas Police have been looking for Kevin Wolfe since Monday.

They say he shot three people after buying bogus marijuana.

Thursday, Wolfe turned himself into Saginaw County authorities.

He's been questioned by Fort Smith police and is expected to return there Monday.

Here's the original report:

In Saginaw, a manhunt for a murder suspect comes to a surprise ending.

Police say Kevin Wolfe of Memphis, Tennessee, is wanted for a shooting spree in Fort Smith, Arkansas, that killed two women, an unborn child, and left a third woman hospitalized.

Six foot two, 209 lb. Kevin Wolfe walked into the lobby of the Saginaw County Courthouse Thursday morning and told a sheriff's deputy that he's wanted for murder and wants to talk to Fort Smith, Arkansas police.

Right now, Wolfe sits at the Saginaw County Jail waiting until Arkansas authorities arrive by plane Thursday night.

Police named Wolfe as a suspect in Mondays slayings. They believe it was a drug deal gone wrong.

Wolfe clearly fled the area. Authorities do not know why he came to Michigan and turned himself in.

Saginaw County Sheriff William Federspiel says, "We're glad he did. We don't know if it was a guilty conscience. We don't know his motive at this time. We are very curious to find out what his connection is to the Saginaw area."

Authorities don't know how Wolfe got here because he doesn't have a car.

Saginaw County deputies aren't questioning him because they don't want to jeopardize the investigation.

Arkansas authorities are on their way here to pick him up.

According to 4029 TV, an Arkansas TV station, Wolfe is suspected of murdering Jada Moses, Aligene Seals, and her unbon baby. He also allegedly injured Barbara Gowers Monday.
