Demetrick Manning, who was arrested Thursday afternoon following a traffic stop that led to an exchange of gunfire with an officer, was ordered held without bond Friday on various charges.
The Jacksonville Sheriff’s Office also confirmed to News4JAX that, after checking with doctors at the hospital, Manning was shot in his leg — something that was not previously revealed. Manning, 30, is facing charges of attempted murder of a police officer, armed possession of cocaine, possession of a firearm by convicted felon, fleeing police and violating probation.
T.K. Waters, JSO’s chief of investigations, said officers were called to the scene on Golfair Boulevard around 5 p.m. The passenger of a vehicle, which he said had been pulled over for a window tint violation, took off running, and an officer gave chase.“When he turned around and started approaching the suspect, the suspect turned and opened fire 10 times at our police officer’s vehicle, striking the hood, coming very close to our officer. The officer then returned fire,” Waters said.
“He stepped away, about one step maybe a step-and-a-half, approached the handgun again,” Waters said. Waters said that was when a conductive energy weapon was used by police, striking the man, who was taken into custody. No officers were injured.Copyright 2022 by WJXT News4JAX - All rights reserved.
