Ellis Meighan Jr. has been featured in our newscast quite a number of times because of being accused by police of different crimes, but tonight he's back in the news because he no longer wants police to press charges against 2 men who were accused of shooting up his vehicle exactly 2 years ago.
As we reported, the incident happened on October 10, 2012, when Meighan and Malik Dixon were in Meighan's vehicle. When they arrived at the Mopan Street intersection, 2 men who were standing on the street corner opened fire on the vehicle. Dixon was injured in the lower back in that shooting, but he was rushed to the KHMH, where doctors managed to successfully treat his wound.
Today, 2 years after being accused for those crimes, Jeon Peebles and and Akeem Smith were acquitted of 2 counts of attempted murder, use of deadly means of harm, and dangerous harm. That acquittal came today because both Dixon and Ellis Meighan went before Senior Magistrate Frazer and told the court that they wanted no further court action. With no complainant to press the charges, Senior Magistrate Frazer discharged both men and allowed them to go free.
