Arrests Tied to Sniper Case in Maryland and Alabama
Authorities say arrests in Maryland near Washington come after a tip linked to a Montgomery Alabama liquor store robbery last month. Key suspect John Allen Muhammad, 42, and 17-year-old John Lee Malvo were captured off Route 170 in Frederick County. Police trace a fingerprint at the Alabama scene to Malvo, linked to the Montgomery call claiming responsibility for the shootings and robbery. The investigation centers on an armed and dangerous Muhammad traveling with Malvo, with ties to Tacoma Washington and Montgomery mayor Bobby Bright commenting on the tip line claim.
