Ferguson, Mo. police chief Tom Jackson now says that Darren Wilson, the police officer who fatally shot Michael Brown last Saturday, realized after he stopped Brown and a friend in the street that he was responsible for a strong-arm robbery at a convenience store.
The new information, which Jackson provided to the St. Louis Post-Dispatch, comes at the tail end of a day of turmoil and confusion — most of which was created by Jackson.
In his first Friday bombshell, at an early-morning press conference, Jackson first reported Wilson’s name. He also released an information packet that contained evidence that Brown had taken part in the strong-arm robbery mere minutes before he was shot.
But Jackson added new, important details in a second press conference about what the officer knew and when he knew it. He said that when Wilson stopped Brown and his friend, he was not aware that Brown was a suspect in the robbery.
But during a struggle with Brown, Wilson saw the cigars he had lifted from the convenience store and tied Brown to the crime, Jackson said, according to the Post-Dispatch.
Missouri State Highway Patrol Capt. Ron Johnson, who is currently heading community relations efforts, confirmed Jackson’s claim telling CNN saying that the chief brought up the new wrinkle in a meeting in the afternoon.
