September 24, 2026

5 On Your Side– A St. Louis man was found guilty of multiple crimes in connection with a 2020 shootout with the police.


A jury on Wednesday found 38-year-old Joshua Bolden guilty of two counts of first-degree assault of a special victim and two counts of armed criminal action in connection with the April 9, 2020, incident.


At around 11:15 a.m., St. Louis police received a call for an "officer in need of aid" in the area of Interstate 70 and Adelaide Avenue.


The initial investigation revealed that officers with the Normandy Police Department saw a 2012 Kia that was involved in a “shots fired” incident in Maryland Heights earlier that morning.


Officers attempted to pull over the driver, and the car eventually came to a stop in the 1400 block of Adelaide Avenue.
