Pasquala Walls, 30, the man wounded by an MNPD sergeant on September 7 as he endangered pedestrians with his vehicle in a packed section of Broadway downtown, was released from the hospital tonight and booked into the Metro Jail on five unrelated outstanding warrants including aggravated assault (allegedly fired shots into the air after a physical altercation with his ex-girlfriend) and felony evading arrest. He is also charged federally with being a convicted felon in possession of a firearm.
Walls was previously convicted of felony controlled substance crimes in Shelby County, Tennessee and is prohibited from possessing a firearm.
Additional charges against Walls related to the September 7 incident are anticipated.
