UPDATE: The man arrested at a Warren County homeless shelter Thursday morning after a daylong manhunt is now facing two homicide charges.
State police say Edinboro Police tried to pull over 25-year-old Cody Potthoff of Corry Wednesday, but he drove away in a stolen car, crashed it, ran away, stole an ATV, then robbed a pickup truck driver at gunpoint and, later, stole a Jeep Liberty.
The car he crashed was taken to the state police barracks in Girard where the dead body of 41-year-old Ian M. Welden of Corry was discovered. Potthoff is also a suspect in the death of 66-year-old John Burick of Harborcreek who he came in contact with while he was on the run.
Police have also arrested 24-year-old Cameron Zimmerman who was charged as an accomplice with abuse of a corpse.
Police are still looking for the pickup truck and the Jeep.
