TURLOCK, Calif. — A man accused of shooting and wounding a California Highway Patrol officer has been charged with attempted murder.
Henry Moreno Arroyo, 40, was charged with attempted murder Monday in Stanislaus County.
Authorities say last Thursday, Arroyo opened fire in Turlock, where CHP investigators had found what they believed was a car used in a freeway shooting the previous evening.
Prosecutors say officers returned fire and Arroyo ran off but was captured. He and the CHP officer were treated for non-life threatening injures.
Arroyo is being held on nearly $1.5 million bail. His arraignment was continued to Dec. 27 for him to make financial arrangements and his private counsel, according to the Stanislaus County District Attorney's Office.
