A 20-year-old Missouri man has been arrested in the shooting of two St. Louis County police officers Thursday, county officials announced Sunday.
Jeffrey Williams was arrested Saturday night and is charged with two counts of assault in the first degree, three counts of armed criminal action and firing a weapon from a vehicle, St. Louis County Prosecuting Attorney Robert McCulloch said during the afternoon press conference.
Williams, who has attended several demonstrations in Ferguson, Mo., told police that he fired shots at someone he had a dispute with, and hit the officers, who he alleges were not his intended target.
McCulloch said Williams’ story of a dispute with another person -- including that he did not target the police -- is still part of the investigation, which is ongoing.
McCulloch said the .40-caliber handgun that matches the shell casings recovered at the scene of the officers’ shootings was found in Williams’ residence, which police searched after obtaining a warrant based on information received from the public.
Williams, who is being held on $300,000 cash bond, had a warrant out on him because he is on probation for receiving stolen property and has failed to appear to his parole officer for the past seven months, McCulloch said.

Wow and someone had it pegged as a white sniper guy trying to incite race violence...
But, but, but I thought the shooter was a white KKK member....
Where’s the REAL picture of him? The one taken when he was 12 years old... the one the New York Times will run tomorrow...
Well, the bright side is that they didn’t report the guy as being one year past a teenager.
I get pretty annoyed when the press says “teenager” and lo and behold it turns out to be a 19 year old.
Since when is African American a race? At best, it’s a nickname for Negroes living in the United States, but surely race covers Negroes all over the world, not just in the U.S.
They was jes community organizin like Obama did as a yute. Razin Hell is what community organizin is.
Note that JF’nK’s current Sugar Momma is truly an African American.
NO MENTION of race in the headlines BUT if it were reversed and a white shooter shot two black cops, guess what the headlines would read?
Him and Chris Rock, separated at Birth.
I thought the same thing when I read 22 rifle. From the video, the sound of the gun shots were not of a 22 rifle from a distance.
He wont’ be the new Mumia hero because the cops survived.
Wow what timing - Only 18 seconds from being paged to appearance! :D
Pretty sure that would be by nationality, not by race.
“It’s his first offense”. /s
I’m sure the person he claimed to have a dispute with was of a similar skin pigmentation. The irony will be lost on the #BlackLivesMatter crowd.
