SALT LAKE CITY, Utah - A man accused of killing a Utah sheriff's deputy has agreed to be extradited to Arizona to a face a first-degree murder charge.
Court records show Scott Curley signed an extradition waiver Thursday during a hearing in a Kanab court.
Curley is accused of using a rifle to fatally shoot Kane County sheriff's Deputy Brian Harris a week ago in Fredonia, a tiny Arizona town south of the Utah border.
He was captured Monday near Kanab, Utah after a four-day manhunt.
Curley is being held in a Utah jail on a $500,000 bond related to the Arizona charge and a $100,000 bond on Utah felony charges of attempted aggravated burglary and criminal mischief.
It's not clear when Arizona authorities will take Curley into custody.
