In a case that has tormented the St. Paul Police Department for 34 years, two men were arrested Friday in the May 22, 1970, ambush murder of police officer James Sackett as he responded to a call of a woman giving birth in the Summit-University area.

The FBI Fugitive Task Force and Minneapolis police arrested Larry Larue Clark, 53, in Minneapolis and booked into the Ramsey County jail pursuant to a sealed indictment, said St. Paul police spokesman Paul Schnell.

Authorities arrested Ronald Reed, 54, at about 9 p.m. in Chicago. He was being held in Illinois, Schnell said.

Sackett's widow, Jeanette Sackett-Monteon, learned of the arrests Friday.

"I just started crying, crying because I was sad for 34 years," she said. "I'm elated because I finally have some answers and am headed toward closure."
