No charges filed against man arrested in carjacking attempt on two St. Louis cops

2022-03-22

[St. Louis Post Dispatch] ST. LOUIS — Police say prosecutors are refusing to file charges against the man police say tried to carjack two officers in a marked patrol car Saturday.

Police had sought charges of first-degree robbery, armed criminal action and resisting arrest against a 27-year-old man.

Evita Caldwell, a spokeswoman for the St. Louis Police Department, confirmed to the Post-Dispatch on Monday that prosecutors refused charges. She referred all additional questions to the circuit attorney's office.

Allison Hawk, a spokeswoman for the circuit attorney's office, said the case was still under investigation.

About 3 a.m. Saturday, the two officers were driving to Chouteau Avenue and Seventh Street for a report of gunfire. The officers said a man stepped in front of their car on eastbound Chouteau near South Tucker Boulevard, then walked to the passenger side and pointed a gun at the officers.

Police didn't say if the patrol car's lights were activated as the man stood in the way of the car.

#3 As I recall, the chief prosecutor of St. Louis is one of the Soros stable of non-prosecuting prosecutors.
