With Copycats Still On The Loose, The Accused Phoenix Highway Sniper Says He"s The Wrong Guy

Innocent until proven guilty, and Leslie Allen Merritt, Jr. is really claiming innocence.

The accused Phoenix highway shooter is adamant that he is not the one who’s been targeting random cars along Interstate 10 in the Arizona city, even though authorities are pretty confident they’ve got their man.

Merritt, speaking in court during his initial appearance one day after his arrest, said to the judge:

“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.”

Merritt, whose bail was set at $ 1 million, told the judge that he has two children, and wouldn’t be able to afford to pay his way out of jail pending trial.

Despite Merritt’s innocence claims, though, Bart Graves, a spokesman for the Arizona Department of Public Safety, feels pretty confident about the state’s case:

“The evidence as you’ll see in the next couple of days speaks for itself. We’re not going to get in a debate about that.”

Guess we’ll all know more very soon.

Arizona Police Believe They"ve Caught At Least One Of The Highway Snipers — But More Suspects Are Still On The Loose

This is (hopefully) a relief!

Arizona police announced on Friday afternoon that they believe they have captured the man responsible for at least four of the seemingly random freeway shootings in Phoenix over the last month.

The man, Leslie Allen Merritt, Jr., was taken into custody outside a Walmart in Glendale, Arizona at about 7pm local time on Friday night, though as of late that evening, he had not yet been formally charged in the shootings.

Frank Milstead, the Director of the Arizona Department of Public Safety, said that Merritt was arrested specifically over the first four shootings, which happened August 29 and 30.

However, Merritt’s father is adamant that his son had nothing to do with the shootings, telling reporters:

“He has way too much value for human life to even take the slightest or remotest risk of actually injuring someone.”

More pressing for police is the fact that there are still half a dozen shootings unaccounted for, and Milstead is worried about more copy cats. At a press conference Friday night, the law enforcement official told media outlets:

“Are there others out there? Are there copycats? That is possible.”

The fact that this case is obviously still so unresolved is pretty scary!

Watch the video of the police press conference regarding Merritt’s arrest (below):

Regardless, it’s a relief that police at least appear to be closing in on the suspect(s) behind these senseless and stupid acts.

Horse-Drawn Chariot Car: Spotted on the Highway!

Well, it"s official: Now we"ve seen everything.

And we"re not just saying this because someone has chosen to date Scott Disick for some reason.

We"re saying it because a motorist captured footage in Hillsborough, North Carolina of some dude dressed as a Roman soldier, driving some kind of car made up to look like a horse-drawn chariot.

And speeding along the highway as he did so!

We have no idea why. We have no further details to offer. But check out this cellphone footage now and be as amazed by it as we are.
