OKLAHOMA CITY — Four suspects in a carjacking were caught as they attempted to run from uniformed officers of the Oklahoma City Police Department Tuesday.
In the process, police fired at one of the suspects. Another suspect received “a bite” from a police dog.
The incident took place in far west Oklahoma City at The Reserve apartment complex at in the 6600 block of NW 10th St. halfway between MacArthur and Rockwell.
They are:
- Andra Butler, 18
- Wallace McDonald, 17
- Doneto Patrick, 17
- Jayden Kahn, 18
The four were booked on complaints of unauthorized use of a motor vehicle, and possession of a firearm while in the commission of a felony.
Butler and McDonald are facing additional complaints connected to the original carjacking.
“Officers working in an undercover capacity spotted a stolen Jeep Grand Cherokee that had been taken in a carjacking,” according to Captain Valerie Littlejohn with OKCPD. “The Jeep was backed into a parking space at The Reserve apartment complex in the 6600 block of NW 10th St. The stolen vehicle was occupied by five males. Uniformed officers were called to the scene. As the officers approached the Jeep, all five occupants fled on foot.”
During the footchase, one officer, MSgt. Ronnie Waugh “perceived a threat by one of the suspects,” said Littlejohn. “MSgt. Waugh discharged his firearm at the suspect. No one was hit by the gunfire and the suspect was taken into custody, along with three of the remaining suspects.”
MSgt. Waugh is on administrative leave until a routine investigation is concluded.
Another of the suspect was bit by a police dog “while being arrested.”
The fifth suspect has still not been caught.
“Other than the dog bite, there were no injuries suffered during this event,” said Littlejohn. “MSgt. Waugh has been placed on routine administrative leave pending the outcome of the investigation.”
