Ferguson man charged with shooting at police helicopter, threatening witness at gunpoint

ST. LOUS (KMOV.com) – A Ferguson man has been charged with multiple felonies after authorities say he fired a gun at a police helicopter.

According to a release, 28-year-old Terrell Doss was seen by a witness shooting a handgun at the helicopter on August 10.

Two officers were inside the helicopter at the time, though neither were injured as the gunfire missed the aircraft.

According to the witness, Doss threatened violence if he was identified.

The following day, Doss reportedly approached the witness and pointed the gun at his stomach, pulling the trigger. The gun was unloaded at the time and the witness was not injured.

On November 17, the witness identified Doss as the man who fired at the helicopter as well as reported the incident in which he was threatened. 

Police arrested Doss on December 1, and charged him with two counts of second degree assault on law enforcement, one count of first degree assault and three counts of armed criminal action.

He is being held on $100,000 cash only bond.
