Police have identified a 22-year-old man as the one accused of firing shots at officers Monday night while they were searching for a robbery suspect at an apartment complex on Ashlawn Drive.

They arrested Jervod Contae Simmons within minutes of the shooting on nearby East Little Creek Road, and charged him with attempted capital murder, use of a firearm in a felony, and possession of a firearm by a felon, said Master Police Officer Chris Amos, a department spokesman.

Hey Pilot I guess freedom of speech only applies when you think it should. It is unfair that you offer this forum then take it away because of a few bad comments or maybe because some comments oppose your opinion of the incident? Since you screen all of them anyway why not leave this topic open for discussion? You probably won't let me post this either but have a nice day anyway.
