A 20-year-old man from the St. Louis area has been arrested in connection with the shooting of two police officers during last week's protests in Ferguson, Missouri, a prosecutor said Sunday.
Jeffrey Williams was arrested late Saturday, and he has been charged with two counts of first-degree assault, a count of firing a weapon from a vehicle and three counts of armed criminal activity, St. Louis County Prosecuting Attorney Bob McCulloch said at a news conference in Clayton.
"The demonstrations were pretty much over (when the officers were shot). People were leaving, and that's when this happened," he said, describing Williams as a demonstrator who had taken part in protests on numerous occasions.
At the time of his arrest, Williams was on probation for receiving stolen property, and McCulloch said he believed Williams had an outstanding warrant after not reporting to his probation officer for several months.
The prosecutor repeatedly thanked the public for the information that led to the arrest. He also said that, because of the public's assistance in the case, police were able to serve a search warrant on Williams' residence where they seized a .40-caliber handgun, "which has been tied to the shell casings that were recovered" at the scene of the shooting.
Can only imagine how surprised the Fox News crowd were to discover that the shooter was not either President Obama or Eric Holder. This must be a huge letdown for them.
And look the public were actually helpful in finding this man, which goes against the conservative meme that Ferguson is full of people who want to do harm to the police, or protect those that do.
By the way it should be noted that some of the Ferguson protesters are not at all convinced that this was also a protester.
I bet dollars to donuts he is not the man.
ReplyDeletePathetic. You are pathetic, and an idiot.
DeleteThe Ferguson cops had to arrest someone as fast as possible! Hopefully, the man arrested is the correct person and that they are treating him fairly and humanly in their prison! They don't have a very good track record of treating blacks well!
DeleteHey Gryph- here is the link to the DOJ report on the Michael Brown shooting. If you have the time and energy, you should read it. It might open your eyes a bit as to what the police in Ferguson are up against. It also might open your eyes as to what Darren Wilson was up against. It was a bunch of played up bullshit, and I have lost total respect for Obama and Holder.

Bet!
Delete"describing Williams as a demonstrator who had taken part in protests on numerous occasions"
ReplyDeleteOF COURSE, McCulloch makes wildly accusatory statement without proof. He's probably phoning witness 40 to see if she was "visiting" the area.
YUP. It must be proven beyond the shadow of a doubt that the shooter is a demonstrator or it does not work well enough for McCullouch and Ferguson officials.
DeleteWill the young shooter get a 'better deal' if he insists that in fact he is protesting demonstrator?
I am so very disappointed that the two police officers were shot and injured. It is fortunate that the two are not dead as is Mike Brown and other unarmed black, brown, and poor white young men.
dowl
Everything I had been hearing was trying to blame the demonstration, sayi that the shots had come from the crowd, yet these charges make it sound like the shooter was in a passing car.
ReplyDeleteThere goes the Fox theory about protesting = condoning copkilling... again.
Also, any lie where someone claims Bristol dates around when dating around isn't her style. She is a relationship person, who's had like 5 total relationships, only 2 poor choices years ago. True, Joey was a steady for 2 years. But she is mature enough to be able to judge inner feelings and a mature person cannot deny themselves a right to be happier than a status quo.
ReplyDeleteSo let's just be happy for any in a genuine relationship
@3:26
Deleteyou are on the wrong thread
I'd be happy if you stayed on topic...
DeleteI'd be happy if she learned how to use punctuation.
DeleteOh wait...
re: ring
ReplyDeleteBecause Bristol's friend was the only person with them in Vegas (she took those pictures obviously), I would bet big money that she helped Dakota pick Bristol's idea of a good ring. This is the friend whose speciality is jewelry and nice things.
This I know for fact. And she is close to Dakota too now.
@3:29
DeleteFacts are not an exercise in creative writing.
3:29 PM You are a LIAR, you don't know Shit.
DeleteThe SarahPac official photographer took those photos, know nothing. YOU DO NOT KNOW THESE PEOPLE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
DeleteYes, very close to Dakota. Biblical sense, also, too.
DeleteSarah needs her meds monitored as well. LV handbags work as well as anything.
Those BFFs sure come in handy for taking Shealah Craighead photos.
Everyone knows Bristol's best friend, she has a name. Why are you even bringing Marina into this? It is rude not to say her name. She will probably be bridesmaid. After all she has done she deserves it.
DeleteWe know about her and that she isn't racist. Lord knows we hope she can help Bristol.
Bristol can't breath without her. She goes to Vegas all the time, models and plays with Bristol almost 24/7. When do they have time to work on Dakota or write their health book?
piper.p said all i want is marinas hair.
So what? Are you jealous of the sexy exotic Marina? You can see all her beautiful sexy photos here. Does she take your breath away?

(she took those pictures obviously)
DeleteNothing could be more 'OBVI'.... you want everyone to notice that Anchorage, Alaska needs the DOJ to clear out those corrupt racists that are running the city and state.
Marina is one of Cusack's hookers and she does personal video porn online. You pay her and she uses toys and other things while you watch or even will do other girls or guys for the right price. I can't even believe that Sarah would let Piper hang around with a professional sex worker...
Deletevegas tonight with #bae Ya do know that bae means poop in Danish right? lol

Bristol and Marina working hard at what they do best.
OMG I bet Marina comes home with a shit ton of money from a weekend in Vegas. I wonder if the good Dr. has her "appointments" prescheduled for her or if she actually pimps herself out in the casinos? I betcha she'll buy her bestie Bristol something real nice from this weekend's windfall...nice going Bristol taking presents from a hooker! You really know how to pick your friends.
DeleteAnd WTF bringing your girlfriend to your engagement weekend in Vegas? I bet Dakota really appreciated the "third wheel" unless maybe he got a little of that action as well. Wouldn't surprise me, Marina probably charged him for it though.
And WTF bringing your girlfriend to your engagement weekend in Vegas?
DeleteWTF!!!! EXACTLY!!
Bristol and her #1 BFF are almost inseparable twins now. We are talking Maid of Honor if Bistol has a choice (a Heath or Palin cousin if Todd or Sarah rule). We'll see.
Where do you think Bristol has learned everything she knows about mugging, make up, wardrobe and selfies? Most of all work selfies. Bristol's best friend is the best with tandem and selfies. Most of all work selfies!

Who is saying dwts crew hated Bristol? um, she went on girl nights out with several of the production staff and she, Brandy and RayJ (and lauden) hung out a few times. RayJ was obsessed with Lauden. Brandy came to Bristol's defense over body image since she herself was famously anorexic. And Kyle and Bristol were still friendly in Oct 2012
ReplyDeleteWhy are people do hellbent on creating their own realities?
@3:48
DeleteThe reality you are creating is absurd.
Where did Bristol go after being a finalist on DWTS? Finalists tour after placing in DWTS, except for Bristol.
Delete4:33 PM Bristol took her PREGNANT ass to Scottsdale. Arizona to hide her pregnancy. The Gorilla suit did not work. Mark Ballas was 'lifting weights' when he dragged the non-dancing Bristol all over the dance floor. When they were filmed practicing, Bristol was showing her pregnant belly, and every one watching saw that. The Trolls can deny all they want, but we saw it with our own eyes. Where is that baby(Kyla Grace) ?
DeleteYou are on the wrong thread, you weird little nutter.
DeleteRayJ is the guy that pissed on Kim Kardashian in their porno. I wonder if RayJ pissed on Lauden?
DeleteThey all think Bristol is a dummy. And you are either extremely naive about show business or as much of a liar/fabricator as any Palin.
DeleteOh my, the Bristol excuse trolls are out in force. The topic of this thread is about Ferguson, what does this have to do with a duck billed platypus ex reality star has been?
ReplyDeleteRE this thread - The street credo of you snitch you're next has got to stop and I'm glad the prosecutor thanked those who saw something and said something.
OT how long can a marriage last when the girls mother has to pay for the ring? Does mom still change her diaper, also too????
4:22 PM:
ReplyDeleteOh dear! Did Sarah REALLY pay for b-tards ring??
This more fishy than a tuna in a out house.
ReplyDelete1:00 Huge laughter burst!
DeleteI keep wondering what would happen if it was a white guy that did the shooting. These police had protective gear on, yet the bullets hit shoulder and face..... Does someone have to aim to hit these unprotected places? And I have not read caliber of gun...hand gun, rifle....22?
ReplyDeleteFerguson Pastor Stuns Tamron Hall: Shooting Suspect ‘Set Up’ by Police
ReplyDeletehttp://www.mediaite.com/tv/ferguson-pastor-stuns-tamron-hall-shooting-suspect-%E2%80%98set-up%E2%80%99-by-police/
Really 12:11? You post this link as to stir up more lies and BS? It is laughable, did you even read the article?
DeleteLove it, another 'Bishop' LOL. Must have gotten his credentials thru the same mail order reverend and bishop school that Al got his reverend-ship from.
Directly from the article:
"".....according to Bishop Derrick Robinson, who visited the suspect in jail, the whole thing is a “set-up.”
Robinson, who has helped organize protests in Ferguson, said that he was “upset” and “reacting out of frustration and anger.” He added that Williams “showed a lot of remorse, was very sorry, apologetic” and “wished he had not done it.”
Later, the pastor surprised Hall by saying of the suspect, “I really believe he was set up.” Asked who he was “set up” by, Robinson answered, “Police.”
“Obviously I can’t let you say that he was set up by police. What evidence or proof do you have of that?” Hall asked, noting that Williams has confessed.
Robinson alleged that Williams was “brutally beaten” and “coerced” into confessing by Ferguson police and was not given the opportunity to speak to a public defender.
“We have no proof of these allegations and you have provided me with no proof of this,” Hall reminded her viewers, abruptly ending the interview on an awkward note. ""
