HUGO, Okla. — A man arrested on a robbery warrant after police opened fire on the truck he was in, injuring three young children, was in custody in an Oklahoma jail Sunday.

Choctaw County Jail records indicate that William Devaughn Smith was being held on an aggravated robbery complaint. He had been in custody in Lamar County, Texas, after being released from a hospital there. The records don’t indicate whether Smith has an attorney who could speak on his behalf.

 

The Oklahoma State Bureau of Investigation said four children and their mother were with Smith when two officers approached him and gunfire broke out on Friday in Hugo, Oklahoma, near the Texas state line. Smith’s relationship to the woman and children is not clear.
