Man arrested after Mississippi deputy shot in back

0

OAK GROVE, Miss. (AP) — A Mississippi man was arrested early Saturday after a Lamar County sheriff's deputy was shot in the back hours earlier.

A deputy, named by WDAM-TV as Steve Pazos, was shot and wounded Friday night while investigating an auto burglary in Oak Grove, just outside Hattiesburg. The shooting happened when Pazos got out of his car after a chase, the Lamar County Sheriff's Office said.

Pazos was taken to a hospital but later released, the sheriff's office said.

Troy Prenell Johnson, 22, was arrested several hours later and charged with aggravated assault on a police officer. He is jailed in Lamar County awaiting an initial appearance before a judge who will decide whether to set bail. It's unclear if Johnson has a lawyer.

“The suspect was taken into custody and he was brought to a local hospital for injuries that he received,” Lamar County Sheriff Danny Rigel told the television station. “They are non-life threatening or anything like that.”

MBI will report the results of its investigation to the attorney general's office.
