An Arizona man flagged down a passing officer just after midnight last week to admit he killed someone — and then led the deputy to his victim’s body.

Jay Albert Stevens, 52, was arrested and charged with first-degree murder after allegedly confessing to the crime in the middle of a McNeal, Arizona, street at 1 a.m. Thursday, the Cochise County Sheriff’s Office said.

Stevens was standing in Central Highway when he waved down a deputy. The officer stopped to ask if he was OK and he told the deputy he had just shot and killed a man.

He then led cops to a home where they discovered the body of a 61-year-old man.

Deputies arrested him at the scene and charged him with first-degree murder. He was booked into the Cochise County Jail.
