State trooper arrests man with outstanding Illinois homicide warrant
A man with an outstanding homicide warrant in Illinois was arrested in Phoenix after a state trooper with the Arizona Department of Public Safety pulled him over for unsafe driving behavior and an equipment violation.
DPS said the trooper pulled over 32-year-old David Cooper near Van Buren and 29th streets in Phoenix on Jan. 11 and detained him after he provided false identification.
The trooper later learned Cooper had an outstanding $5 million warrant out of Rockford, Illinois.
Cooper was booked into a Maricopa County jail where he awaits extradition.
