Tucson police arrested a man early Thursday morning, who was wanted in connection with a Sept. 1 stabbing at a northside pizza parlor, authorities said.
35-year-old David Ryan Howe was taken into custody by members of the Tucson Police Department SWAT team at a motel located in the area of Interstate 10 and Starr Pass, according to a post on the department's Facebook page.
Howe surrendered to officers without incident, and was booked into the Pima County jail in connection with felony charges of attempted armed robbery, attempted aggravated robbery, aggravated assault with a weapon and kidnapping. He was also booked on an unrelated misdemeanor warrant, police said.
He is being held on a $400,552 bond, according to Pima County jail records.
On Sept. 4, Alex Joseph Haider, 18, turned himself into police after media reports of the robbery and stabbing at the pizza restaurant at 3930 N. Flowing Wells Road.
Officers responded to a call from Chariot just before 11 p.m. on Sept. 1, police said. They found an employee with stab wounds. He was taken by Tucson Fire Department paramedics to Banner-University Medical Center Tucson with non-life-threatening injuries.
The restaurant was closed and the two employees were cleaning up when two men entered through an unlocked back door. One sprayed what appeared to be pepper spray in the face of one of the employees and chased the other one, police said.
The second employee was stabbed multiple times and stomped on during a struggle, authorities said.
