Statement of the facts
Carl Peterson (Peterson) and Kelvin Crenshaw
(Crenshaw) both alleged they were attacked. Each claimed
the other was the attacker. Each were taken to the hospital
with injuries. The State, however, believed Peterson’s story
and charged Crenshaw with: 1) first degree reckless injury,
while armed with a dangerous weapon, as habitual criminal;
2) attempted armed robbery, with use of force, as a habitual
criminal; 3) felon in possession of firearm, as a habitual
criminal; and 4) possession of a short barreled riffle, as a
habitual criminal. (R.2).
Peterson claimed he was walking his cousin’s pit bull
puppies when someone rode past him on a bike. (R.53 at 13-
17). That person quickly returned and stated “mother ****er,
give it up, old school.” (Id. at 18). Peterson was shot in the
chest and left bicep, alleging that this occurred when he
grabbed the gun from the robber. (Id. at 20). He stated the
robber had on orange shoes and a black hood, but could not
identify the robber’s face. (Id. at 21 & 27).
Crenshaw’s version of the event is much different.
(R.38; A-Ap.p.118-119). He was riding on his bike when
someone hit him with a hard object on the back of his head.
(Id.). When the shotgun was thrust into his face, he wrestled
the gun away from the robber and it discharged. (Id.). While
this was happening, the pit bulls attacked him. (Id.). He ran
from the persons who attacked him and got tangled up in the
fence. (Id.). He was taken to the hospital for a wound to his
head. (Id.).
The first officer who responded to the shooting saw
two men on the street - Peterson on the ground and an
unidentified man who stated: “I think he has been shot.”
(R.53 at 47-49). The officer saw the riffle on the ground,
along with an orange shoe and sweatshirt. (Id. at 50-51).
The two dogs were sitting next to Peterson. (Id. at 56). The
police used long metal poles with leashes to secure the dogs.
(Id. at 57-58).
The next two officers who arrived on the scene
observed Crenshaw in the bushes near a chain link fence. (Id.
at 71-72). Crenshaw was caught in the fence by a dog leash
and did not try to run. (Id. at 74 & 80). The police had to cut
him free. (Id.). They noticed Crenshaw was bleeding from
his leg and sent him to St. Mary’s Hospital. (Id.). Crenshaw
was wearing only one orange shoe and had what the officers
thought was a dog bite on his shoeless foot. (Id. at 78 & 80). 3
The gun that was recovered at the scene had part of its
stock and barrel cut away, making the length of the gun 22
inches. (R.53 at 97-98). The officer admitted it would be
difficult to possess this type of gun while riding a bike. (Id. at
108-109). However, the police did not recall that a bike was
recovered on the scene. (Id. at 108). No fingerprints were
found on the gun, and while DNA was taken from the gun, it
was not tested. (Id. at 117 & 119).
