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.

Cops are always getting in the way when you are trying to get something done.
How can a man be 20. He is still a boy until he passes 27 according to the obammy care..
Paging Reverend Al...Paging Reverend Al...
Doh! If it wasn’t for bad luck, this guy would have no luck at all.
.40 caliber handgun? Guess the “experts” who identified the shooter’s weapon as a Marlin Model 60 .22 rifle were as full of BS as most internet “experts”.
Self defence obviously. Pigs are violating his rights. The community must demonstrate against this. DOJ should be there by morning.
Racist cops jumped in front of my gun just to make the negro man look bad!
I hear by anoint Saint Jeffrey.
If Obama had a.....................oh, never mind.
Will he be the left’s new “Mumia” hero?
Must not have paid attention during his firearm safety classes...
Why is it that all these Holder’s people still can get fire arms after they get out of stir and are wanted for violation of probation? They need to put this negro back in the hoosegow and throw the key away.
Why is he not charged with attempted murder?
Regardless of who he was shooting at, he tried to murder people.
He is an unwitting tool of an evil and amoral organization bent on world domination.
He is responsible for his personal choices but ultimate responsibility for the over all plan of which he is but a pawn is that of the Democratic Party.
My guess is that Eric the Corrupt and the DOJ furnished the weapon through Soros back race agitation groups. Do you think the shooter passed a mandatory Federal background check or did Eric give him a bye?
