Police later said they arrested a 57-year-old suspect in Ottawa, about 111 miles away.

Local residents said the stunning deaths of three women, all slain within hours of one another on Tuesday morning, have thrown the community of about 300 people into a profound state of grief.
Stow said Kuzyk had been living with her sister, who was unhurt.
Clinton Roche, owner of a restaurant in Wilno, had claimed that part of the village was confined.
In the December 30 attack, Borutski also burned the “sentimental” handmade toys from her childhood – a rocking horse and wooden table-top hockey – that he set aflame in the fireplace as Kuzyk tried to wrestle him on the ground. As a result of information they received, they then went to another home in the community and found the body of a second woman.
The other two victims have been named as Nathalie Warmerdam, 48, and 66-year-old Carol Culleton.
It is believed that Borutski had previously had relationships with both Warmerdam and Kuzyk.
They said officers were called to a location just before 9am on Tuesday and found the body of a woman.
Officers from the Killaloe OPP detachment are investigating.
This came after the Ottawa Police said that the suspect was headed to Ottawa.
“Events like this are not very common and it just shows the teamwork between police services”, she said. Borutski, a former millwright, was recently released from jail after being sentenced to 19 months for assault, theft and a firearms offence.
Higgins personally knew one of the three victims identified by the Ontario Provincial Police earlier in the day.
“People stay away from trouble”.
Still, Will Borutski said, the family is most focused on the families of the victims. He was a normal kid, she said, but later had “lots of tragedy” in his life.
Borutski’s daughters even described him as a “violent, easily agitated and tyrannical”, according to an Ontario Superior Court judgment that granted a divorce to Basil and Mary Ann Borutski in 2011 and ordered Borutski to pay his ex-wife nearly $93,000.

Borutski lost his right hand, which was re-attached after a work-related accident in Kitchener, Ont., according to the documents.
