(N.Morgan) In a breaking development out of Ferguson Missouri, one of the Ferguson police shooters has been captured, arrested, and charged. 

This photo provided by the St. Louis County Police Department on Sunday, March 15, 2015 shows Jeffrey Williams. Williams, 20, is charged with two counts of first-degree assault, one count of firing a weapon from a vehicle and three counts of armed criminal action in connection with the shooting of two police officers who were keeping watch over a demonstration outside the Ferguson Police Department on March 12.

20 year old Jeffery Williams has now been charged with assault in the first degree.

He will also be facing three counts of armed criminal action.
 

As reported by Truth Revolt: In Missouri  Sunday afternoon officials held a press conference to elaborate on the details of the suspect arrested in connection with the shooting of two police officers earlier this week, an incident described by the Lt. Governor as an “attack on civilization itself.”

St. Louis county prosecutor Bob McCulloch opened with a statement on the charges.

“We have filed charges just a few minutes ago against Jeffrey Williams, a 20 year old man, he is now charged with two counts of assault in the first degree for the two police officers who were shot a couple of days ago in Ferguson in front of the police station.

Also charged with firing a weapon from a vehicle, which is a class B felony in the state of Missouri, and charged with three counts of armed criminal action, one for each one of those.”

When asked by a reporter if the suspect was a protester, McCulloch said that yes, he was a demonstrator.

REPORTER: So was he involved in the protests?

MCCULLOCH: Yes. He is a demonstrator, he was out there earlier that evening as part of the demonstration, he’s been out there on other occasions as part of the demonstrations.

The suspect claims that the police were not his intended target, but someone else in the crowd. 

The police cannot confirm or deny the suspect’s claim at this time.

The weapon reportedly found by police was a handgun.

Attorney General Eric Holder released a statement today after the arrest of Jeffrey Williams.

And of course, Holder pats himself on the back.

“This arrest sends a clear message that acts of violence against our law enforcement personnel will never be tolerated.

 

 

The swiftness of this action is a credit to significant cooperation between federal authorities and the St. Louis County Police Department…

I commend both the ATF and the St. Louis Police for their tremendous work in identifying this suspect.

In the days ahead we will continue to partner with the authorities in St. Louis County to secure justice.”
