Description
A man who allegedly shot a San Diego police officer, then spent nearly a week on the lam, pleaded not guilty Friday to charges that include attempted murder of a peace officer.
J.C. Blake Sartor, 30, is charged with last Thursday's gunfire that left a lawman with a gunshot wound in the arm. Sartor was taken into custody Wednesday in Kearny Mesa.
The wounded officer -- who was recruited by the SDPD in July 2021 and has been on active duty for about six months -- is expected to make a full recovery, according to San Diego Police Chief David Nisleit.
The events that led to the shooting began shortly after 11 a.m. June 8, when the officer, whose name has not been made public, spotted a stolen truck being driven on University Avenue near 54th Street and started following it in his cruiser, according to police.
