FILE - In this Sept. 21, 2015, file photo, traffic zips along the I-10 in Phoenix, as traffic signs no longer warn motorists about calling in on the I-10 freeway shooting tip line. Gov. Doug Ducey has been criticized for sending out a "We got him!" tweet just minutes after a state police SWAT team arrested Leslie Allen Merritt Jr., the 21-year-old father of two, implying that Merritt was guilty of the shootings before he had even been booked into jail or appeared in court. A judge has dismissed a criminal case against Merritt, who had been accused of carrying out freeway shootings. The ruling came Monday, April 25, after prosecutors had asked for charges against Merritt to be dismissed amid undisclosed questions about evidence. (AP Photo/Ross D. Franklin, File)
