The man suspected in two dozen sniper shootings that have terrorized Ohio motorists was arrested at a Las Vegas motel early today, authorities said.
Charles A. McCoy Jr., 28, was taken into custody near the Stardust casino two days after he was named as a suspect in the Columbus-area shootings, said Las Vegas police Lt. Christopher Van Cleef.
"We got him in custody without incident," Van Cleef said.
Police were told of McCoy's whereabouts by a person who recognized him from media reports, Van Cleef said.
