That’s not the only time he has been in trouble for firing a gun in the attempt to kill someone.  In 1995, Scott was convicted for assault with the intent to kill in a shooting incident.  In 2004, he was arrested again for assault with a gun.

Suddenly, the good family man who was reading a book has a long criminal record going back at least as far as 21 years ago and no less that three times was charged with gun related assaults.

From The Christian Times (Confirmed by CharlotteObserver):

The friends and family of Keith Lamont Scott, the African-American Charlotte man shot and killed by police this week, portray him as a “family man” and “likable.” However, new details are emerging about Scott’s troubled past, his many encounters with law enforcement, and the reason behind his six year stay in a Bexar County, Texas prison just a decade ago.

Scott had a long police record that included gun violations.  Christian Times Newspaperhas learned,and it has been confirmed by the Charlotte Observer, that Scott was convicted in April 2004 of a misdemeanor assault with a deadly weapon charge in Mecklenburg County, and other charges were dismissed: including felony assault with a deadly weapon with intent to kill, assault on a female, and communicating threats.  Scott was also charged with assault with intent to kill in 1995.

The most shocking find in Scott’s record, however, is what occurred in Bexar County, Texas in 2005. In March of that year, Scott was sentenced to 15 months in state prison for evading arrest, and in July, he was consecutively sentenced to seven years on a conviction of aggravated assault with a deadly weapon…

One source, who asked CTN to refrain from using her name to protect her identity, told reporters that Scott fired a handgun at San Antonio police officers when they attempted to detain him in February 2005 after noticing that he was driving erratically.

The liberal media would have known this if they cared as much about this as they did about Sarah Palin’s emails.  (CNN sent 23 reporters to comb through them)
