A man who was wanted on methamphetamine trafficking charges survived a shootout with Broward Sheriff’s detectives in Wilton Manors, authorities said.
The two detectives who shot him, Thomas Golebiewski and Timothy Schaub, are on administrative assignment pending further investigation.
The Florida Department of Law Enforcement is investigating the shooting.
The man, 21-year-old Shane Lyons, faces charges of attempted murder, aggravated assault with a deadly weapon and resisting an officer with violence.
The Broward Sheriff’s Office Crime Suppression Team from the Deerfield Beach district attempted to arrest Lyons as part of a narcotics investigation on June 19, according to an arrest report.
Lyons left his Wilton Manors home in a 2008 silver Cadillac STS, and deputies followed him to the Wilton Manors Health & Rehabilitation Center at 2675 N. Andrews Ave., the arrest report said. Lyons backed the Cadillac into a parking space and detectives blocked him in, the report said.
Detectives told him to get out of the car and show his hands, but Lyons grabbed a handgun and pointed it at them, according to a detective’s sworn statement in the arrest report.
According to Detective Andrea Gordan’s statement, another detective pulled her aside and she heard what she thought was Lyons firing a gun, the arrest report said.
Two deputies fired their weapons and shot Lyons several times, the report said.
According to WSVN-Ch. 7, cellphone video taken from inside the rehabilitation center shows four officers surrounding a silver car, their guns drawn.
Overhead video showed the car’s windshield riddled with more than a dozen bullet holes. At least one of the bullet holes in the windshield came from inside the car, the report said.
When the shooting stopped, Sheriff’s detectives and Wilton Manors Police officers approached and removed Lyons’ handgun from his hand in his lap, the report said. Detectives confirmed the gun was loaded and had been fired at least once, the report said.
Lyons was taken to Broward Health Medical Center in Fort Lauderdale, where he remains hospitalized. Details about his condition were not available. No one else was injured in the shootout, authorities said.
Inside the car, detectives found a spent .22 caliber casing, 16 grams of marijuana, .39 grams of crystal meth and 3.72 grams of heroin, the report said.
Lyons has a criminal history of drug possession and trafficking charges in South Florida.
Lyons faces charges of attempted murder, aggravated assault with a deadly weapon without the intent to kill, resisting an officer with violence, possession of a weapon by a convicted felon, possession with intent to sell or manufacture heroin and methamphetamines, and possession of less than 20 grams of cannabis.
