NORFOLK — A man who was shot and grazed by a police officer in a confrontation Saturday morning was identified Sunday as William L. Logan, 24, of Virginia Beach.
Logan, who was treated for minor injuries, has a lengthy court record including convictions last year for assault and battery on a police officer in Norfolk and illegal possession and transportation of explosives.
The officer in Saturday’s altercation was unhurt. His name was not released.
Officer Chris Amos, a police spokesman, said Logan has been charged with attempted capital murder of a police officer.
Amos said the shooting happened while the uniformed officer was investigating a stolen car report at 8:30 a.m. Saturday in the 1200 block of Reservoir Ave.
The officer has been placed on routine administrative duty while the incident is reviewed, Amos said.
In June, Logan was sentenced to 12 months in jail after being found guilty of assault on an officer in October 2004, but all the time was suspended. He was fined $100 and placed on three years unsupervised probation. The companion explosives charge brought a sentence of three years in prison, but all time behind bars was suspended and he was again fined $100 and placed on three years unsupervised probation.
His court record shows earlier convictions for possession of marijuana, trespassing and damage of property in Norfolk, assault and battery and destruction of property in Virginia Beach and possession of cocaine with intent to distribute in Chesapeake.
