Description
1 Thurman Dudley Overstreet, hereinafter referred to as defendant, was charged and tried in the District Court
of Okfuskee County on May 25, 1970, on a charge of Shooting with Intent to Kill; his punishment was fixed at five years imprisonment
and from said judgment and sentence a timely appeal has been perfected to this Court. 2 Briefly stated, the evidence at the trial adduced that on November 27, 1969, Eligah Dean, a police officer for
the City of Boley, noticed a car illegally parked. He testified that he asked that the car be moved, and upon failure to so
comply he impounded the car and took it to the police station. Shortly thereafter the defendant, and others, came to the police
station and an argument ensued. The car was driven away by the defendant's brother. He picked up another officer, Bernice
McDowell, and proceeded to a tavern to arrest the defendant for disturbing the peace. As they were escorting the defendant
from the premises, the defendant's brother and another subject interfered and a scuffle ensued. During the scuffle the defendant
got the officer's pistol. Dean ran toward the door and two shots were fired, one striking him in the shoulder, the other going
through his pants leg.
