TUCSON, AZ (KOLD) - The man sought by the FBI and Pima County Sheriffs deputies as a "person of interest" turned out to be the suspect's cab driver, The Arizona Daily Star is reporting.

The man told detectives he gave Jared Loughner a ride to the shopping center where the shooting took place on Oracle and Ina roads.

The cab driver walked with Loughner into the Safeway store so the suspect could get cash to pay the fare, according to the Arizona Daily Star report.

More from the article:

 

Records substantiate the driver dropped Loughner off at 9:59 a.m., Kastigar said. Loughner was picked up nearby. The first report of a shooting came in 10:11 a.m. and paramedics were on scene at 10:16 a.m., Kastigar said.

FBI Director Robert Mueller said he expects federal charges to be filed Sunday afternoon against Loughner.

There's a possibility the charges may be related to domestic terrorism, Mueller said.

He took cab to commit a murder? This guy does not seem to have been interested in covering his tracks.

There is no conspiracy; no excuse for the Federales to poke their noses into Arizona's state government; the Reichstag fire has fizzled out.

More like he didn’t expect to survive; suicide by cops he was hoping?

I guess it was nice that he went in to get cash and then paid the cabbie instead of just capping him!

They aren’t done.

Never let a crisis go to waste, even if you have to make the crisis out of whole cloth.

Man, I hope you're right.

Personally, I think it's a little too early to agree.

But it sure would be nice.

He killed a federal judge. That’s a federal crime and is the reason the “Federales” are poking their noses in there.

According to the FBI he left a note at home stating he had planned it since 2007. He had no intention of getting away with it. I can't think of an American assasination offhand where the assasin tried to get away since Lee Harvey Oswald.

Yeah.....but I’’ll bet that the cab driver once took a couple of blue-haired little old ladies wearing flag pins to the bus stop where they were taking a greyhound to a TEA Party rally.

I smell a right-wing conspiracy here......

How is that for the investigative genius of the sheriff?/s

Maybe he should try doing his job instead of on tv lecturing the rest of us.
