DETROIT — A police sergeant was arrested after a man charged with two murders told investigators he was responsible for at least seven contract killings, including the shooting of the sergeant’s wife, authorities said Monday.
In what Police Chief Ella Bully-Cummings called an ambush, Sgt. David Cobb’s wife, Rose Cobb, was shot Dec. 26 as she waited in the couple’s van while he did some shopping.
Cobb was arrested early Sunday morning at his home, Bully- Cummings said, and was to be arraigned today.
Investigators went to Cobb’s home after speaking with Vincent Smothers, 27, arrested Saturday north of Detroit in a June 2007 drug-related shooting.
