CINCINNATI (AP) - Authorities in Ohio say a man wanted in a bow-and-arrow assault has surrendered in Georgia.

Elmwood Place police say 57-year-old Harvey Spivey drove some 500 miles before stopping Tuesday evening and telling a man just south of Atlanta to call police so he could turn himself in.

Spivey faces a count of attempted murder in Hamilton County court in Cincinnati. Court records do not list an attorney for him.

Police say he shot three arrows into his friend Samuel Douglas Stacey after an argument early Tuesday. They say 50-year-old Stacey is expected to recover after undergoing surgery. He was hit twice in the back, puncturing a lung, and once in the hand.

Police say Stacey had been letting Spivey stay in his home.
