GREEN BAY, Wis. — A man suspected of killing two women in Green Bay over the weekend has been arrested by police in Arkansas, authorities said Monday.
The 48-year-old Green Bay man was initially being sought as a person of interest in Sunday's suspicious deaths of two women on the city's east side, police said.
He was taken into custody during a traffic stop in Arkansas after Green Bay police informed law enforcement in Arkansas that the person of interest may be traveling through the that state, WLUK-TV reported.
The names of the suspect and two victims are being withheld.
The bodies of a 58-year-old Green Bay woman and a 53-year-old Bellevue woman were found Sunday by officers inside a Green Bay duplex. Authorities have not disclosed how the women died.
