OMAHA – As the shooting of 22-year-old James Scurlock continues to make waves throughout the state and the nation, both parties involved in the incident had run-ins with the law prior to their altercation.
Douglas County Attorney Don Kleine announced Monday that the shooter, 38-year-old Jake Gardner, will not be charged for the shooting, but Gardner has faced other charges in the past. Gardner was arrested in September of 2013 and charged with two counts of assault and battery, along with failure to inform an officer of a concealed handgun, property damage, and theft.
