A PUNK rocker surrendered to police in Idaho yesterday after allegedly scalping a 16-year-old girl, leaving the victim’s mohawk haircut and skin at the scene of the crime.
Police had issued an arrest warrant for Marianne Dahle, 26, who is accused of tying up the teenager and using a 4in (10cm) knife to cut away the back portion of her scalp.
The warrant cites aggravated battery, which carries a sentence of up to 14 years.
No drugs or alcohol were involved in the attack and police believe that the case may have had a sexual element, with the attacker enjoying her “predatory” control over the victim.
