January 2nd, 2016 by iPhone
An Ashley county man was shot by Ashley County deputies, Thursday morning, on West 10th Street in Crossett, as they were attempting to serve an arrest warrant on him.
As law enforcement officers approached David Massey, Jr. to serve an arrest warrant, Massey fled in a vehicle across the yard of the 10th Street residence.
The vehicle driven by Massey accelerated toward a local sheriff’s deputy outside the residence. The deputy fired his pistol at the vehicle before being struck by the car. The deputy was treated for minor cuts and abrasions then released from a local hospital.
At least one other law enforcement officer fired at the vehicle which sped away, then struck a parked pick-up truck. Massey traveled a short distance further, then surrendered to police.
Massey was transported to a Little Rock hospital for treatment of a non-life threatening wound. Upon being discharged from the hospital, he will be transported to the Ashley County Jail.
Special Agents of the Arkansas State Police Criminal Investigation Division are preparing a use of deadly force investigative report for the Prosecuting Attorney. The names of the deputies have not been released, at this time.
