Stupid niggers. Dumber than rocks.
CLAYTON � A St. Louis County man was found guilty Thursday
of engaging a group of undercover officers in a gun battle while
his children were in the back of his car.
According to authorities, St. Louis County police detectives
were following Laron Crenshaw, now 34, on June 7, 2010 near
Jennings Station Road and Bircher Avenue when he and another
individual started arguing and shots were fired.
When the officers tried to intervene, authorities said, Crenshaw
and a different man who he was with, Antoine Bankhead, now 31,
started firing at them. Crenshaw drove off, with Bankhead in the
passenger seat, and the third man fled in his own car.
According to police, more shots were fired from Crenshaw's
vehicle before it crashed about 10 blocks away. Inside the
vehicle, officers found a 9 mm semiautomatic handgun and
Crenshaw's two children, ages 4 and 4 months.
Bankhead, of the 2100 block of Pestalozzi Street, pleaded guilty
in June 2011 to a weapons and shooting charge, plus armed
criminal action, and was sentenced to seven years in prison.
Crenshaw, of the 5900 block of McArthur Avenue, was charged with
16 felony counts ranging from assault on a law enforcement
officer to child endangerment.
After a trial this week, a St. Louis County Circuit Court found
him guilty of 10 of those charges. They deliberated for about 90
minutes Thursday morning.
Crenshaw's attorney, Bobby Bailey, argued his client was in the
wrong place at the wrong time, and that Bankhead had instigated
the shootout and fired all the shots. He suggested Crenshaw
couldn't have been the shooter if he was driving, and that he
was fleeing just to get his children out of harms way.
Bailey said the acquittal on the seven charges likely stemmed
from juror's belief that Crenshaw only fired at two of the four
involved officers, and did not fire the shots as they were
fleeing.
Sentencing has been set for May 24.
