Original Article Ex-officer is arrested in shooting of woman Holly Johnson The Arizona Republic Jun. 22, 2005 12:00 AM Flagstaff police arrested a former Tolleson police officer Tuesday who is suspected of shooting and wounding his former girlfriend in Scottsdale earlier this month. Michael Booth, 47, had been sought since June 14. He is accused of shooting his ex-girlfriend, 24, outside her Scottsdale home as her 1-year-old son sat in a car seat a few feet away. Authorities are not releasing the name of the shooting victim. Booth was armed and resisted arrest when captured as he was eating lunch at a restaurant, said Flagstaff police Sgt. Gerry Blair. Booth could not be reached for comment. He resigned from the Tolleson Police Department in 1998 amid allegations that he violated police policy and slept with an 18-year-old woman in his police car while on duty. "There's only one or two people who actually remember him," Tolleson police Sgt. Jeff Pizzi said. Police suspect Booth shot his ex-girlfriend twice, in the abdomen and shoulder, about 6:15 a.m. June 14 as she attempted to get into her car outside her home in the 8400 block of East Roosevelt Street. The woman remains in serious condition in the intensive care unit at Scottsdale Healthcare-Osborn. Her son is being taken care of by family, said Scottsdale police Sgt. Mark Clark. Booth was treated for injuries sustained during his scuffle with police and will remain in police custody in Flagstaff until Scottsdale detectives arrive to question him, Blair said.
