CLEVELAND (AP) – A man wanted in the killings of an elderly Ohio couple and in armed robberies in three states was arrested early Thursday in Arizona after a high-speed chase.

An FBI spokeswoman in Cleveland said 29-year-old Robert Clark was arrested by the Mohave County sheriff’s office in Kingman. One of his companions, 26-year-old Tabatha Hazel, a suspect in the armed robberies, was arrested with him.

A third companion, 28-year-old Jeffrey Caley Jr. fled and is still being sought by authorities.

Clark has been charged with murder in the deaths of 88-year-old Doyle Chumney and his 79-year-old wife, Lillian. Their remains were found inside their torched car on a country road Jan. 22, the day after they were reported missing from their home.

The FBI had offered a $20,000 reward for information leading to Clark’s capture. It wasn’t immediately clear Thursday whether anyone could claim the money.
