Thomas remains jailed on felony indictments for felonious assault of a police officer and failure to comply with the order or signal of a police officer. He has pleaded not guilty.
Police were called late Oct. 8 to Hobart Filler Metals on Kings Chapel Drive, where they learned Thomas allegedly had been firing a gun outside. Thomas allegedly got into a truck just as officers arrived and led police on a short pursuit south on Kings Chapel Drive.
It ended when he wrecked a pickup truck and was shot by officers. He received hospital treatment. The officers later were cleared of any criminal charges by a county grand jury.
A trial for Thomas is scheduled to begin June 21.
