CLEVELAND — The suspect in the Mack Court quadruple murder is being held on a $5 million bond after pleading not guilty Tuesday at his arraignment. Martin Muniz, 41, faces an aggravated murder charge following his arrest on Friday.

During his arraignment, in requesting the $5 million bond, prosecutors told Judge Charles Patton that Muniz is a flight risk because he has no residence in Ohio and has residential ties in New Jersey and Illinois. The prosecutor also spoke of Muniz's criminal history in New Jersey and Florida.
