The associated Press State & Local Wire, March 18, 2005

  
In Arizona, police have arrested a man in connection with three sexual assaults and one attempted sexual assault, thanks to DNA evidence. The man was originally arrested after police responded to a suspicious-activity call north of the University of Arizona campus.
 
Officers found him in a vehicle and arrested him on a number of outstanding misdemeanor warrants. Investigators took a DNA sample from him which was later matched to samples from three sexual assaults. The women who were assaulted were UA students at the time, according to police who said the assaults occurred over an eight-month period from May 2004 to January 2005. Police said other physical evidence linked him to an attempted sexual assault report in February.
