ATTEMPTED MALICIOUS WOUNDING ON POLICE: 800 block of Army Navy Drive Arlington VA

At approximately 4:58 p.m. on June 20, an officer observed a parked, unoccupied, stolen vehicle in a parking garage. Additional officers responded to the scene and a short time later, the male suspect and a female subject approached and entered the vehicle. Officers conducted a vehicle stop during which the suspect, who was the driver of the vehicle, accelerated and fled from officers, striking an occupied police vehicle that subsequently nearly struck an officer on foot, causing them to jump out of the way to avoid being hit. While the suspect attempted to exit the parking garage, additional responding officers attempted a second vehicle stop. Officers issued commands to the occupants of the vehicle and the suspect rammed an occupied police vehicle before they were taken into custody. No injuries were reported. During the course of the investigation, a handgun modified to be fully automatic, ammunition, high-capacity magazines, suspected narcotics, a stolen license plate and credit cards not belonging to the suspect were recovered. Khairi Jones, 19, of Washington D.C., was arrested and charged with Attempted Malicious Wounding on Police (x3), Unauthorized Use of a Vehicle, Possession of a Machine Gun in a Violent Crime, Possession with Intent to Distribute Schedule I/II Controlled Substance, Possession of a Firearm while in Possession of Schedule I/II Controlled Substance, Carrying a Concealed Weapon, Carrying a Loaded Firearm with a High Capacity Magazine, Hit and Run, Eluding, Receiving Stolen Goods and Credit Card Theft (x2). He was held without bond.
