A convicted felon is accused of shooting at a La Crosse police officer early Tuesday.

Curtis Ross II of La Crosse was being followed by officers around 1:30 a.m., after a complaint about a theft.

When police tried to make contact with the 33 year old, Ross reportedly turned toward one officer and fired a shot. No one was injured.

Law enforcement agencies, including the Wisconsin State Patrol, the La Crosse County Sheriff’s Department, and the University of Wisconsin-La Crosse Police Department, formed a perimeter in the area where Ross was seen by a witness.

Ross was captured without further incident.

There were four warrants out for Ross’s arrest, including two from La Crosse County and one federal warrant for a firearm violation.

Ross may make an initial court appearance on Wednesday.

    When is enough enough? How many times a week do we hear of someone arrested again with multiple warrants; too many times.
    The Dancing Grannies are a prime example of what happens when you put violent criminals back in the street.
    What is worse is their are associations bailing people out of jail when the charges are serious so the Bailee commits yet another violent crime.

    It can’t possibly be Ross’ fault; he is obviously the victim of a racial society!!! Lock’m up, let’m out, I’d probably still be in jail with no bond for shooting a squirrel out of season.
