NASHVILLE, Tenn. (WKRN) — A man wanted on multiple warrants for several violent incidents and featured on the Metro Nashville Police Department's list of "Most Wanted" fugitives has been arrested and jailed.

Metro police announced Walter Rivera Morel, 44, remains jailed on a $752,000 bond following his arrest on North Natchez Court Thursday.

Morel was reportedly trespassing on the South Nashville property Thursday, May 1, when he provided police with a fake name. He was arrested for criminal trespassing before officers discovered he was wanted on 10 warrants for various incidents, including aggravated arson, aggravated assault and attempted homicide.

According to police, Morel was identified as one of two suspects involved in a December fire set at a Rio Vista Drive duplex that had a woman and her three children inside. The suspects reportedly poured fuel on the front door before lighting the home on fire. A witness allegedly attempted to confront Morel and his accomplice, but the two fired shots toward the witness's vehicle and then fled.

For this incident he was added to the MNPD "Most Wanted" list in January. He spent all of January on the list, according to the MNPD Criminal Warrants Division.

Morel is also charged with beating a man with a wooden 2x4 during an April 21 argument over a vape on Murfreesboro Pike, police said. As the man Morel was arguing with attempted to flee, he was shot, according to authorities.

Morel reportedly confessed to his involvement in the December arson during an interview with detectives Friday morning. He is now charged with five counts of aggravated assault, four counts of aggravated arson, and one count of attempted homicide, criminal impersonation and criminal trespassing, according to police.
