LOUISVILLE, Ky. — A Federal Grand Jury has indicted a Louisville man on federal charges related to an incident that happened on Nov. 13.
Jaron Bobbitt, 38, is accused of pointing a gun at Louisville Metro Police officers in the Wyandotte neighborhood.
Bobbitt has previously been charged with wanton endangerment of a police officer, assault, being a convicted felon in possession of a handgun, and fleeing or evading police.
He is now federally charged with possessing a firearm by a convicted felon. If he's convicted, he faces a maximum sentence of 15 years in prison.
Body camera footage show Bobbitt point an "AR-style" pistol at officers while running away.
According to the indictment, authorities said the gun was an Anderson Manufacturing, AM-15, multi-caliber pistol.
On Nov. 13, a neighbor called LMPD saying there was a “domestic incident” outside their home in the 1100 block of Beecher Street. The neighbor said a woman was running and two men were fighting in the street.
When officers arrived, they said they found Bobbitt inside a car. Officer O'Sha Rogers and another officer then began to chase Bobbitt through neighbors' yards and eventually down Camden Avenue.
Throughout the body camera footage, Bobbitt can be seen pointing the gun at officers before he was shot.
Officers rendered aid to him before he was taken to the hospital.
