The man was taken to Sentara Williamsburg Regional Hospital, “which would have been right around the corner where the event occurred,” according to a statement made Friday by YPSO spokesperson Sgt. Michael “Adam” Cooper.
“The only thing we know about the victim is that he is paralyzed,” said Cooper, who was unable to elaborate further on the extent of the man’s injuries.
Berkley is now charged with three felony counts of attempt to commit a non-capital offense, one count of shooting or stabbing in commission of a felony, one count of possession of a firearm by a convicted felon and one count of aggravated malicious wounding, according to the Facebook post.
He was also charged with the following misdemeanors: Disorderly conduct and two counts of brandishing a firearm.
“Berkley is currently being held at the North Central Regional Jail in Doddridge County, West Virginia, and is awaiting extradition back to York County,” YPSO said on its Facebook page.
