BATON ROUGE, LA (WAFB) -
The 9News Investigators obtained a police report that details a previous arrest of Alton Sterling that is eerily similar to the incident that ultimately led to his death. MORE CONTINUING COVERAGE: Fatal Shooting
Sterling, 37, was recently killed in a shooting involving two Baton Rouge police officers on July 5.
Sources close to the investigation said that if the killing of Sterling makes it to trial, Sterling's past record could certainly be introduced.

It turns out Sterling has struggled with police in the past. Documents show, in May 2009, Sterling fought with cops outside of a convenience store on Rosenwald Road, where he was selling CDs, while carrying a gun.
In the report dated May 29, 2009, the officer said he was dispatched to a convenience store after getting a complaint about a subject "on the corner selling CDs" and that the subject had pulled a gun on someone.
According to the officer's report, when he arrived to the store, he spotted the suspect, who he later identified as Alton Sterling, carrying a crate of CDs.
The officer asked Sterling to put his hand on the hood of his police car and asked if Sterling had any weapons on him. The report says Sterling did "not answer" and as the officer continued to pat him down, Sterling started reaching for his pocket.
The officer went on to say in the report that Sterling suddenly spun around and the two began to struggle. The officer and Sterling hit the ground. The officer said he was able to call for backup as Sterling tried to push him off.
"While wrestling with this subject on the ground a black semi auto hand gun fell from this subject waist band at this time," the report states.
A deputy with the East Baton Rouge Sheriff's Office arrived as the officer was on the ground with Sterling. The two eventually were able to get Sterling into handcuffs. The report ends saying that "Sterling was then escorted to my unit where he continued to fight with officers."
For the 2009 fight with officers while having a gun, Baton Rouge Police charged Sterling with possession of marijuana, sound reproduction prohibited (for the CDs), illegal possession of a firearm with drugs, resisting an officer and illegal possession of a stolen firearm.
Sterling pleaded guilty to illegal carrying of a weapon with a controlled dangerous substance. On July 19, 2011, he was sentenced to five years in prison, which he served until making parole on Dec. 5, 2013.
You would think that coursework designed to prepare people for a career of crime would include lessons on why it’s wise to not resist arrest.
Are you claiming that the guys who came to the rescue, even though they WERE told to “STAND DOWN”, were part of the gun running? If so; you’re NUTS!
Cops have to deal with these guys which is just like wrestling a pig, ya never gonna come away clean during the scuffle.
Jails save lives. Put people away.
Again, the entire operation was an ISIS incubator. You do the hard work of shifting good guys from the bad. I’m done. Good night.
But do, please run away; you're just a useless idiot.
Yes, they did lie to the Benghazi families. BO and Hillary are thoroughly despicable. We have got to get Trump elected.
The bad guys are the ones giving the orders, in this case Hillary and Obama... not the guys who found themselves risking their lives on the ground in some kind of horrible nightmare. They were just doing the best they could under the leadership of the unqualified idiots who somehow were given the reigns. If you can’t understand that, I too am glad you are done for the night.
Didn’t know the Seals were part of that - are you sure you have no sympathy for the 2 men doing their job?
Jeez, some of the things I read here just make me ill.
I should have read further in the thread, I am stunned to read sagar’s pathetic comments.
Maybe he has some super duper information he/she’d like to share, enlighten us all!
This guy just can’t get ANYTHING right!
We truly MUST get trump elected president! If we don't, it's over; it's really all over!
He/she has NOTHING! He’s just a nasty, stupid, irrational poster.
I have to go look, I’ll bust a chop if they are weeping over the recently deceased dead thugs - MN and LA.
It was a cold comment for them to make regarding the victims of Benghazi - shame on him.
Yes, that statement IS “shameful” !
Hillary Clinton, in 2012 meets with the Organization of Islamic Cooperation (OIC) composed of 57 Muslim countries in Istanbul. She promises that she will work on a way to implement their desire for a anti-blasphemy law. I am sure the Clinton Foundation got money from these Muslim countries to influence Hillary’s efforts for that censorship. Since then they have been working on the United Nations to implement UN Resolution 16/18 to outlaw any speech insulting Islam. It is why, after the Benghazi attack, that she used that event to blame an internet video. It was to become the justification to call for a censorship of all anti Muslim content on the internet. The video that was blamed on the Benghazi attack was just a false vehicle to use to call for that censorship. This is what Hillary will do. She will use a crisis to push her agenda. The current agenda is the dismantling of the 2nd Amendment. If she is President, watch the Free Republic get taken down. I predict she will also go after the guns by taking away the ability to buy ammunition.
You just achieved Yoda level
He was selling pirated cds and dvdssupposedly, dope too, no doubt.
The bad guys are the ones giving the orders, in this case Hillary and Obama... not the guys who found themselves risking their lives on the ground in some kind of horrible nightmare.

I call it the Viet Nam Syndrome where guys who came back from the war were labeled the enemy, spit on and criticized while the politicians who gave the orders got a pass.
