SEATTLE (AP) — Seattle police have arrested a suspect who they say carjacked a beloved 80-year-old dog walker. Ruth Dalton died after she was struck by the vehicle as the suspect fled. Police said Wednesday that the 48-year-old suspect was identified after someone reported a man hurting a dog in a park about 5 miles away. Officers responded and found Dalton’s car nearby. They were able to get fingerprints from her cellphone. The suspect was arrested near his home by a SWAT team. He was carrying a knife that had blood on it and the keys to Dalton’s Subaru at the time.
