A spokesperson for the family said the suspect turned himself in to "get it over with because running is not going to do anything except make the situation worse."
Some Roxboro residents said they're upset with how the department labeled Torian in the media.
However, Roxboro Police Chief, David Hess said it was justified due to Torian's criminal history.
