A representative from the district attorney’s office led by suggesting the dismissal of the previous charges and reclassifying him with a single felony of assault and battery with dangerous weapon on a police officer.

According to an affidavit, a Bartlesville police officer had been dispatched to Wilsons area due to a shot’s fired call. The officer asked him if he was armed, and Wilson said he was not. While being searched, Wilson allegedly reached for his waistline and the officer heard a thud which alerted him to a potential firearm.
