(UPDATE) EDGERTON, Mo. (AP) —Authorities say a man considered a “person of interest” in a Missouri fire that killed four people was arrested after he was found walking naked in a northwestern Arizona town along Interstate 40.

The Yavapai County Sheriff’s Office says the 24-year-old man was arrested Sunday and is jailed on suspicion of theft and of displaying a fictitious license plate.

Sheriff’s spokesman Dwight D’Evelyn says the man’s wallet was found in clothing lying next to a car at a Seligman motel whose manager called authorities to report a suspicious vehicle.

D’Evelyn says the car was reported stolen in Missouri and that it had a license plate also reported as stolen.

Missouri authorities want the man for questioning about the deaths of three adults and an infant in a fire Friday night at a rural home near Edgerton in Platte County.

Grayden Denham is the person of interest authorities said was found walking naked in the central Arizona town.
