SIOUX FALLS, S.D. (KELO AM) - Authorities arrested the suspect in this morning's fatal shooting of two police officers in Des Moines, Iowa.
Des Moines Police Sergeant Paul Parizek says 46-year-old Scott Michael Greene was arrested without incident this morning in Dallas County, which is just west of Des Moines.
Investigators pinpointed Greene, from Urbandale, Iowa, as a suspect in their response to the murders of officers in Urbandale and Des Moines in separate shootings early this morning.
Both officers were fatally shot while sitting in their patrol cars.
According to court records, Greene has a history with law enforcement. He was jailed two years ago after resisting arrest with Urbandale police when they were patting him down looking for a weapon.
Greene was also accused of threatening to kill another man during a dispute in a parking lot. He was charged with harassment, pleaded guilty and got a suspended jail sentence and a year of probation.
Court records also show he completed a court-ordered substance abuse and psychological evaluation.
Greene is described as Caucasion, 5 feet 11 inches tall, 180 pounds with brown hair and green eyes. He was last seen driving a blue 2011 Ford F-150 pickup truck with Iowa license plates 780 YFR. The truck is equipped with a ladder rack.
