Arizona authorities arrest suspect in string of freeway shootings

Arizona authorities arrested a man Friday for a string of freeway shootings in Phoenix, adding that they had “forensically linked” the man’s gun to four of the 11 cars hit.

Leslie Allen Merritt Jr., 21, was arrested at a Glendale Wal-Mart at about 7 p.m., said Daniel Scarpinato, a spokesman for Arizona Gov. Doug Ducey. Glendale is a suburb located west of Phoenix.

Department of Public Safety Director Frank Milstead announced the arrest at a news conference two hours after Merritt had been apprehended. Merritt hadn’t been formally charged as of early Saturday.
Merritt faces a myriad of charges that include criminal endangerment, assault and unlawful discharge of a firearm. Four of the shootings authorities think he committed targeted a tour bus, an SUV and two cars on a stretch of Interstate 10 in Phoenix No one has been injured.

Whatever the deepest hole is in the Arizona DOC, Merritt might wind up in it.
