Scottsdale police said they arrested 55-year-old Bradley Holmes in connection with multiple vehicle arson incidents caused by Molotov cocktails.
Holmes was arrested about 7:30 p.m. Friday after detectives at the Mercado Del Lago shopping center at Hayden Road and Via de Ventura in Scottsdale saw him preparing three Molotov cocktails near the parking garage area, according to a Saturday afternoon police news conference.
The arrest was made without incident and Holmes was booked into a Maricopa County jail on Friday night on charges of misconduct involving weapons, Bolin said. Holmes' motive is still unknown, police said. There is no evidence indicating Holmes was intentionally targeting specific individuals, according to the Police Department.
Investigators turned over evidence from the previous Molotov incidents to their crime lab for forensic analysis, police said.
