St. Louis Prosecutor Declines to Charge Man Accused of Attempting to Carjack Officers

St. Louis Police say prosecutors are refusing to file charges against the man police say tried to carjack two officers in a marked patrol SUV Saturday.

Police had sought charges of first-degree robbery, armed criminal action and resisting arrest against a 27-year-old man.

Allison Hawk, a spokeswoman for the circuit attorney's office, told St. Louis Today the case was still under investigation.

About 3 a.m. Saturday, the two officers were driving to a report of gunfire. The officers said a man stepped in front of their car, then walked to the passenger side and pointed a gun at the officers.

The man ran off once he realized the car was a marked police car, police said.

Police say they arrested the man after a search and found him carrying a gun. No one was injured.
