The Daily Ardmoreite
A 17-year-old arrested in connection with a shooting that reportedly paralyzed a woman has pled not guilty and could go before a jury later this year.
Jackson Henry Williams was taken into custody around two and a half weeks after the incident at Charlotte Hall Park on June 23, 2020. Ardmore Police Department Capt. Claude Henry told The Ardmoreite police believe the incident may have been a result of a drug deal gone wrong.
Williams is accused of firing two shots into the air and an additional four shots into the park, where a 20-year-old woman was sitting in the driver’s seat of her vehicle. Police said the woman, who had no connection with the incident, was struck by the gunfire and hospitalized due to her injuries.
