Sheriff's Deputy in Serious Condition After Being Shot While Attempting to Serve Warrant to Joshua Matthew Waller in DeKalb County, Ga.

DeKalb County sheriff's deputy Cpl. Gary Freeman is in serious condition after being shot by Joshua Matthew Waller, while attempting to serve warrant on misdemeanor charge.

Cpl. Gary Freeman, a DeKalb County, Ga., sheriff's deputy is in serious condition after being shot while attempting to serve an arrest warrant on a misdemeanor charge to Joshua Matthew Waller. According to the Atlanta Journal Constitution, police said Waller was accused of simple battery against a neighbor in the Keys Crossing condominiums, off Briarwood Road.

Waller, 36, opened the front door and shot the deputy in the forearm and then refused to come out of his home, Brown said. Officers were negotiating with Waller shortly before 10 p.m., he said. The entrances to the condominiums were blocked Sunday evening during the incident, a resident told the AJC.

What an idiot. The police was going to take him in one way or another. He'd better pray that the officer survives or he's looking at a murder charge. If you don't break the law, no law enforcement agent will come to your home, simple. Why am I not surprised that Joshua Waller has a lengthy rap sheet and is no stranger to prison. According to 11 Alive, DeKalb officials said he had been to the DeKalb County Detention Center at least three prior times, including once for DUI. A real nuisance to society who needs to be taken off the streets once and for all.
