The Westmoreland police have arrested and charged a man who was shot and injured after allegedly firing at members of a police patrol along Farm Pen main road in the parish last Sunday.
The accused, 39-year-old Calvin Campbell, otherwise known as ‘Outa-Orda,’ has been charged with Shooting with Intent and Using a Firearm to Commit a Felony.
Reports indicate that around 12:15 a.m., a team of officers was on patrol along Farm Pen main road when they signaled the driver of a motor vehicle to stop.
According to the police, Campbell, who was the driver, failed to comply and sped away but lost control of the vehicle, which hit an embankment.
Campbell allegedly jumped from the vehicle and opened fire at the officers, who took evasive action and returned fire, hitting the accused.
He was later found suffering from gunshot wounds and was taken to the hospital, where he was treated and admitted.
He was released into police custody on Wednesday and subsequently charged.
