Officer shoots man inside patrol car, authorities say

Arkansas officers have fatally shot a handcuffed parolee who authorities say shot at officers from inside of a patrol car.

Arkansas Department of Community Correction Deputy Director Dina Tyler said 35-year-old Jonathan McIntosh was killed Tuesday night at 905 E. Main St. in Cabot. She said McIntosh had been detained by Community Correction officers and the Lonoke County sheriff's office during a search for another suspect.

She said officers found suspected drugs while searching McIntosh and placed him in handcuffs in the back of the vehicle. She said McIntosh opened fire when officers went back to interview him.

Tyler said two Community Correction officers and one sheriff's office employee shot at McIntosh, who later died at an area hospital.

She said it's unclear where he got the gun.

No officers were injured. State police are investigating.
