The search for a Kentucky sheriff's deputy, wanted for murder, is now over. Randall Creek was captured in Waterloo, Iowa.

State Police tell 27 NEWSFIRST, he surrendered peacefully outside a Days Inn Motel there, just after midnight. A tactical team was about to approach Creek's room, when he came out and turned himself in.

On Monday, Creek sent an email sent to friends, police and the media, admitting he shot Debbie Rediess in the driveway of her Smith's Grove home on Sunday morning. He says Rediess broke up with him for someone else.

Creek is being held in the Black Hawk County, Iowa Jail, awaiting extradition to Kentucky.
