[quote=Associated Press]A suspect has been arrested in a string of shootings along Phoenix-area freeways that have kept drivers on edge for weeks, state officials said Friday night.

A spokesman for Gov. Doug Ducey said a man was taken into custody around 7 p.m. at a Wal-Mart in Glendale, a suburb west of Phoenix.

Arizona Department of Public Safety spokesman Bart Graves confirmed that an arrest was made but declined to provide any details. A news conference was scheduled for late Friday.

"We got him!" Ducey tweeted. "Great work by Arizona DPS investigators and SWAT team."[/quote]

[QUOTE]PHOENIX (AP) -- A landscaper suspected in a series of Phoenix freeway shootings told a judge Saturday that authorities have "the wrong guy" and he hasn't even had a gun for two months.

[…]

Superior Court Commissioner Lisa Roberts set bail at $1 million, and Merritt, who had remained quiet during the proceedings, asked in a soft-spoken voice to address the court.

"All I have to say is I'm the wrong guy. I tried telling the detectives that. My gun's been in the pawn shop the last two months. I haven't even had access to a weapon," he said as he stood handcuffed in a black and white striped jail uniform.

Wonder if it really is the wrong guy. If it is, the real criminal would be dumb to continue

Also "his" gun's been in the pawn shop but he could have illegally owned guns that could be anywhere. Why are they suspecting him?
