Police arrested Michael Wayne Murray on Wednesday in the Feb. 11 armed robberies of guests in two rooms at the Ten Flags Inn on Airline Highway. Armed with a shotgun, Murray, 38, entered the two rooms around 2:30 p.m. Feb. 11, demanding money, police spokesman Cpl. L’Jean McKneely said.
After taking the guests’ possessions, Murray fled in a red pickup driven by a woman, McKneely said.
