Arrest made in Flagstaff area murder case

Officials with the Coconino County Sheriff's Office say a 30-year-old man has been arrested, after two people were found dead inside a home near Flagstaff on Wednesday.

A suspect was arrested after two people were found dead inside a home on Wednesday just north of Flagstaff.

The incident happened just after 1 p.m. on Oct. 23 on Stardust Trail in Doney Park.

The Coconino County Sheriff's Office says deputies responded to the home after receiving a report of multiple people being stabbed.

Once at the scene, CCSO says a man with stab wounds was found outside. He was transported to a Flagstaff hospital. His current condition is unknown.

Deputies then went inside the home and found another man, along with two dead people. The victims were not identified.

"Upon further investigation, the male located inside the house was identified as a suspect in this investigation and placed under arrest," CCSO said. "There are no known outstanding threats to public safety at this time."

Menalek Anthony Dressler

The suspect was identified as 30-year-old Menalek Anthony Dressler, a California resident. Dressler was booked into jail and is accused of two counts of second-degree murder and aggravated assault.
