The suspect in Monday's shooting is formally charged in Washington County District Court.
21-year-old Jeconiah Ray Dillon King was charged with shooting with intent to kill, assault and battery with a deadly weapon, assault and battery on a police officer, possession of a firearm after adjudication and a misdemeanor charge of threatening to perform an act of violence.
The Bartlesville Police Department says authorities responded to a disturbance at around 11:15pm Monday in the 1400 block of Santa Fe Avenue. The officer commanded a group of people in the area to get on the ground. King shot at the officer multiple times before fleeing the scene. One of the shots fired traveled through a wall and struck a victim in the leg. The victim was transported to the hospital. BPD says another officer made contact with King in the 1600 block of Penn Avenue after the incident. King indicated to the officer that he was still armed. King was detained and sent to the BPD for questioning. While at the station, King was uncooperative and kicked an officer twice.
A firearm was found inside a trash can on Penn Avenue that was allegedly discharged during the incident. King has been convicted of a felony as a youthful offender. He will appear in court again on June 26 at 9:00am and his bond is set at $1 million.
