A man captured in a field near Drake and his female companion are headed to Minnesota to face charges in the killing of a woman there, a jail supervisor said Friday.

Jeremy Brooks, 27, was arrested in a farm field north of Drake, in central North Dakota, at about 6:30 a.m. Thursday.

Brooks, of Greenwood, La., who sometimes uses the name Travis Allen Guntenaar, is charged in Wright County, Minn., in the killing of Ruth Ouverson, 58, of rural Montrose, Minn. Her body was found in a bedroom closet of her home on Aug. 4.

Also arrested was Coty Martinez, 28, of Cut Off, La., who authorities said was traveling with Brooks.

The two were being held at the North Central Corrections and Rehabilitation Center in Rugby.

Sgt. Matthew Keith, the jail's supervisor, said Martinez was transferred to Minnesota on Thursday.

Keith said Brooks is not fighting extradition to Minnesota and likely would be transferred there soon.

Brooks and Martinez also face charges of attempted first-degree murder and armed robbery on June 2 in Slidell, La., where authorities say Martinez lured a man to a hotel room and Brooks nearly beat him to death with a malt liquor bottle and a tire iron.

Martinez and Brooks also are being sought by police in Louisville, Ky., for questioning in a pair of homicides, Louisville Police Lt. Barry Wilkerson said Thursday.
