Jeantique Oriol wheeled himself into the Fulton County courthouse Wednesday just two months after being shot five times by a Fulton County police officer.
Oriol turned himself into authorities on robbery, battery and obstruction charges in the April 6 shooting that critically injured him.
Police said Oriol attacked a man who stayed at the Panther Riverside Parc apartment complex, refused to drop his weapon and ignored the officer’s command.
But Oriol’s lawyer told Channel 2 Action News those claims are unfounded.
“At no point did he do anything to engage the police or cause (them) to use that level of force,” attorney Gerald Griggs said. “He maintains he was an innocent victim.”
