\"Jeffrey<\/a><\/center><\/p>\n

Fox News<\/a> reports that protester-turned Jeffrey Williams was arrested in Ferguson, MO this weekend for the armed assault of two police officers last week;<\/p>\n

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.<\/p>\n

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.<\/p>\n

McCulloch said Williams\u2019 story of a dispute with another person — including that he did not target the police — is still part of the investigation, which is ongoing.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Well, I don’t know about you, but the fact that he wasn’t shooting at the two officers who were wounded makes me feel 100% better about him. They should totally let him go. In fact, they should take him to their range and help him learn to shoot straight. You, know, for next time.<\/p>\n

By the way, the LA Times<\/a> reports that the police believe they were targeted, not caught in gunfire;<\/p>\n

[Detective Meghan] Aguilar said the officers, assigned to the 77th Street Division narcotics section, were driving in an unmarked police car. She said there was no indication they were caught in crossfire between rival groups but rather believed the shots were meant for them.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
