CLEVELAND (AP) — A truck driver was indicted Tuesday on multiple counts of aggravated murder in the slayings of one person in 1997 and three people this year, and a county prosecutor called him a "serial killer."

Robert Rembert, who earlier served time in prison following a manslaughter conviction in another killing, was arrested last month after emerging from a shower at a truck stop outside Cleveland and has been held on a $1 million bond since, prosecutors said. There's an investigation into Rembert's "activities as an over-the-road truck driver," prosecutors said in a statement, which didn't provide additional details about it.

"Robert Rembert is a serial killer," Cuyahoga County prosecutor Tim McGinty said. "So far, we know he's purposefully executed five people."

Rembert couldn't be contacted for comment while in custody Tuesday, and it was unclear if he had an attorney representing him.
