Charlotte's Keith Scott Had History of Violence Including Arrest for Shooting At Police…
2016-09-26
[The Last Refuge] According to a story in The Christian Times, who they claim verified with The Charlotte Observer, Keith Lamont Scott had a two decades long history of gun violence, including an arrest/conviction for shooting at police officers in Texas. The New York Times has previously reported on his troubled past but not the 2005 shooting at police incident:

(Via NYT) [...] According to court records, Mr. Scott was born in South Carolina, was about six feet tall and weighed 230 to 250 pounds. While living in South Carolina in the 1990s, he was charged with a number of offenses including check fraud, aggravated assault and carrying a concealed weapon. Later, he moved to Texas where he shot and wounded a man in San Antonio in 2002, for which he was convicted and sentenced, in 2005, to seven years in prison. He was released in 2011. (link)

The Charlotte Observer also reported on Scott's extensive criminal career - and we did independently identify a criminal record in Texas - SEE HERE - which aligns with all of these reports.

#4  arrest/conviction for shooting at police officers in Texas.
Happens frequently enough to not be notable.

#3  an arrest/conviction for shooting at police officers in Texas Ran the plates, the guy's string of run-ins with the law came up on the in-car computer. They probably said this is a potentially dangerous guy and acted accordingly. I'd be a bit edgy. Another poster boy for the left-- choir boy who's potential was never realized, would have gone to college, ya da ya da ya da.

#1  Anything come back from the lab yet? Blood work? No mention of priors in the MSM or convicted felon with a firearm. Firearm have a SN? Came from where? The martyrdom narrative fully in play.
