PHOENIX — Phoenix police have arrested a man in connection to more than 1,000 pounds of fish left on the side of a north Phoenix road.
The Arizona Game and Fish Department told ABC15 on Tuesday that Phoenix police were looking into a large group of carp and gizzard shad fish dumped on the side of the road near 15th Avenue and Pinnacle Peak Road.
