A man and woman who were subjects of a nationwide manhunt for homicide and armed robbery were arrested by an Arizona State trooper during a traffic stop on Saturday, authorities said.
An Arizona Department of Public Safety trooper pulled over a vehicle that was swerving out of its lane on westbound I-10, near Eloy at about 7 p.m., spokesman Damon Cecil said in a news release.
The driver had no identification, but told the trooper his name, which turned out to be false. The woman produced a Louisiana driver's license, identifying herself as Antoinette Wong, who had two outstanding warrants for armed robbery and was taken into custody, Cecil said.
After the driver was identified as Keith Rogers, he was taken into custody for outstanding homicide and armed robbery warrants, Cecil said.
Also in the car were two children, found to be endangered missing juveniles abducted from Shreveport, Louisiana. DPS detectives learned from Shreveport police that Rogers and Wong had taken the seven-year-old boy at gunpoint during a home invasion, and also took Wong's two-year-old son from another location, Cecil said.
The children were turned over to the Arizona Department of Child Safety until they are returned to Louisiana.
During a search of the vehicle, troopers found evidence and money believed to be from a bank that Roger's robbed.
Wong and Rogers were booked on the outstanding warrants, and the investigation was turned over to the FBI.
