East Cleveland police identified the suspect as 35-year-old Michael Madison. They said he was arrested in connection with a woman’s body found in East Cleveland.
A cableman called police Friday morning complaining about a foul odor coming from the area of Hayden Avenue near the intersection of Shaw Friday morning before 11 a.m.
