Hamilton police tried to question Wilson around 6:15 p.m. Thursday because he’s a suspect in “several recent criminal acts,” according to police.
After being stopped in the 600 block of South Seventh Street, Wilson attempted to flee in his vehicle and struck officer Sean Figley. Another officer, Wyatt Arnold, opened fire and hit Wilson’s vehicle, police said. Wilson was not injured by gunfire. The vehicle crashed, and police took Wilson into custody.
Wilson, who was treated for minor injuries suffered in the crash, told police he was “under the influence of cocaine, meth and marijuana,” according to a police report. He was the only person in the vehicle.
He remains in the Butler County Jail.
Figley, 28, an officer since April 2015, was treated and released from a local hospital, police said. Arnold, 31, an officer since January 2014, was placed on administrative leave pending an internal investigation, which is standard procedure, police said.
