Little Rock, AR --- The Little Rock Police Department released body cameras, dash cam, pictures and details of an officer involved shooting that occurred on May 8 2021.

During the early morning hours of May 8th, 2021, Little Rock Police Officers responded to a “driving with-out owner consent” call in the 1400 block of Cleveland Street. Officers arrived and discovered the vehicle in the driveway and made contact with a male subject inside the vehicle. The officers approached both the driver and passenger sides of the vehicle. The male driver was asked to submit proof of ownership.

Heat-tempted, but eventually stalled and began to dispute with officers. As the officer tried to de-escalate the situation, the driver grew more aggravated and was then asked to exit the vehicle. The officer on the passengers’ side began to make his way towards driver’s side. The driver then started the vehicle and put it in gear in an attempt to flee.

The moving officer, with weapon drawn, reacted. Meanwhile, the driver simultaneously attempted to close the door and the officer’s hand and weapon became stuck in the door. During the struggle, the weapon was discharged.
The officer was dragged approximately 15-20 feet before he was able to free himself from the moving vehicle. Meanwhile, the officer’s weapon remained in the vehicle as the driver sped away. Officers located the vehicle a short distance away, wrecked.

They cautiously approached the vehicle again. At this time the officers realized the driver was suffering from a gunshot wound to the leg. The officer’s provided medical aid until EMS arrived. He was last reported in critical condition. One officer sustained minor injuries.

The driver was later identified as Michael Smith. He was transported to a local hospital that morning to receive medical attention. Mr. Smith was released from the hospital on Tuesday May 11, 2021 at that time Officers with our department transported him to the Pulaski County Jail where he was booked in on charges of Criminal Attempt to Commit Capital Murder, Felony Fleeing, Battery 2nd, and Unauthorized Use of a Motor Vehicle.

Since this incident involves an officer discharging a weapon, an internal investigation has begun. A separate criminal investigation is also underway.
