When police arrived, they found Terry, 36, inside the apartment. He was taken to the hospital to receive medical treatment for his own injuries. Police arrested him Saturday and he was lodged in the Crook County Jail.

Charges filed against Terry include second-degree murder, first-degree manslaughter, attempted murder, assault and four counts of unlawful use of a weapon. Court documents identify the weapons as a knife and a hammer.

On June 10, Terry was also charged with resisting arrest and attempted assault of a police officer. He was released on bail the same day Winter was found dead and Hutchinson was found injured.
