Steve Benton reports on the arrest of a man in a 2005 shooting death

— Beloit police have made an arrest in a 2005 murder case.

Police Captain Bill Tyler says 21 year old Rick Freeman was arrested Wednesday on charges stemming from a weekend incident involving gun fire, a brief police pursuit, and car crash on Beloit's west side. Tyler says Freeman has been a suspect in the murder of Maurice Hanna on November 9th, 2005 for a while and having Freeman in custody for the weekend incident gave them a chance to wrap up the Hanna case.

Freeman was expected to be formally charged in Rock County Court with the murder yet this week.
