PORTLAND, Ore. (AP) — A 48-year-old man was killed in Garibaldi on the Oregon coast and a woman was assaulted, authorities say.

Tillamook County sheriff’s deputies said Tuesday they have a suspect in custody after a woman called sheriff’s dispatchers at about 11:40 p.m. Monday.

Sheriff Todd Anderson said the woman’s husband called about 20 minutes later to tell police he would wait for them at the Moehler Co-op.

Anderson said the man was charged with aggravated murder while the woman was treated at a local hospital and released.

The sheriff said he was attempting to notify the victim’s family and planned to release the names of the victim and suspect later Tuesday.
