COLUMBUS, Ohio (WCMH) — An 18-year-old man accused of being involved in a January shootout with police while he was 17, has been indicted in Franklin County court.

Tamari Stroughter is being charged as an adult in Common Pleas Court after he allegedly fired shots at Columbus police officers on Jan. 9 on the southeast side. He has been charged with four counts of felonious assault, one count of discharging a firearm on or near prohibited premises, one count of receiving stolen property, and one count of tampering with evidence.

Stroughter’s arraignment hearing is scheduled for Thursday morning. He has a criminal history dating back to when he was 12, according to police and court documents. He had been arrested multiple times on charges including robbery, kidnapping, and having weapons under disability.

Officers were called to the 1000 block of Lockbourne Road on Jan. 9 just before 11 a.m. after reports of a boy threatening to shoot his girlfriend. Moments after officers arrived, Stroughter allegedly fired a rifle at officers and then ran from the scene.

During the chase, officers allegedly found Stroughter in an alley, where he and officers exchanged gunfire. The chase continued, and officers were able to take Stroughter into custody near East Columbus Street.

Before being arrested, the suspect reportedly threw the rifle onto a roof; police said it was located by a helicopter a short time later. Stroughter was also allegedly carrying a handgun during the chase; police said that weapon was found on Studer Avenue.
