William Murphy III was transferred from USA Medical Center to Mobile Metro Jail shortly after midnight Thursday. But he didn't stay long. Murphy was released after posting a $25,000 bond.
District Attorney John Tyson, Jr. says Murphy had a trunk full of marijuana when he ran into a checkpoint Saturday night on Michigan Avenue. Instead of stopping, Murphy hit the gas and tried to out run police.
After crashing his car, police say Murphy pulled a gun on officers and was shot.
Right now, Murphy is only charged with trafficking marijuana. But police are pursuing federal charges because Murphy is an ex-con, so by law he is not supposed to carry a gun.

Don’t be so hard on this guy. He just got out of prison and was trying to earn a little cash. And we all know that the cops should have just let him run since police chases are a danger.
