A landscaper once charged in metro Phoenix's 2015 freeway shootings took the witness stand Monday in a civil trial in which he alleges he was wrongfully arrested, telling jurors that he didn't have any involvement in the attacks and that publicity from his now-dismissed criminal case has caused deep problems in his life.

Leslie Merritt Jr., 26, got choked up as he recalled his arrest, and described a police interview in which investigators rejected his claims of innocence and instead falsely claimed they had video of the shootings. Even after his charges were dismissed amid heavy criticism of the case's ballistics evidence, the Arizona Department of Safety conducted surveillance on him and still considered him a suspect, Merritt said.

"They wanted to make me into this monster," said Merritt, who spent seven months in jail before he was released.
