Cincinnati Police have arrested two men for allegedly firing shots at an off-duty officer early Tuesday morning. 22 year old Jihad Sanders and 23 year old Frank Latham are charged with felonious assault for the incident on Summit Road in Roselawn.

It happened in Roselawn as the officer was stopped in his car at Summit Road and Greenland Place.  The officer had just finished a security detail at Dukester's and was driving away.
 
Investigators say someone leaned out of an SUV stopped in front of the officer's car and started shooting the officer, who's vehicle was unmarked but who was wearing a uniform. Three shots were fired, hitting the grill and the headlight.

The officer began to follow the SUV, but called off the chase at Reading and Section Roads when speeds reached a dangerous level.

The officer, who is not being named at this time, was not hurt.

Latham and Sanders are also charged with improperly discharging a weapon into a habitation from an incident on Bosworth Place.

Frank Latham is the definition of POS he comes from a POS family who are all criminals this is not his first run in with the law. This time they should throw the book at him. He doesn't deserve to be alive. All he is good for is making kids not providing for them toting guns beating on the mother of his children. Yes his mother is the one who will say my son didn't do this he is a good kid his friend did this my baby to good. She is a horrible mother who has done nothing but baby this criminal and right his wrongs. That's why he's 23 years old and has not learned anything from his previous run ins with the law. Excited this creep is behind bars and should stay there.

His parents must have thought "Jihad" was a cool name.

They are stupid. They will get at least 5 years for this, and maybe more. They would have killed someone eventually. Perhaps they already have.

WTF for no reason a whole family was almost ruined because of these p.o.s.

I wonder what some of the comments would say if this story was "the officer had returned fire killing one of the suspects"?! Probably a back-lash from the public, poor little suspects.

I think the charges should soon change to attempted murder.
