WEST MEMPHIS, Ark. — A man shot by cops inside a small town courtroom in Arkansas will soon be charged with battery on a police officer according to the West Memphis City Prosecutor. The shooting happened two weeks ago in Jericho.

Fire chief Don Payne was arguing a traffic ticket, and got into an argument with officers. One of the officers shot Chief Payne in the back. West Memphis City Prosecutor Lindsey Fairley says none of the police officers will be charged.

Fairley says Chief Payne went after officers, and the officers had every right to detain him. Payne says he was not armed, and that the officer pushed him. That's when Payne says he shoved the officer back.
