Two arrested in connection with shooting

Tuesday, June 24, 2008

At 1:20 Sunday morning, Lawrence police were called to the Cross Town Tavern parking lot after receiving a report concerning gunshots in the area.

Upon arriving at Cross Town Tavern, 1910 Haskell Ave., police found George Briscoe, 21, of Kansas City, Kan., suffering from gunshot wounds. Briscoe was transferred to a Kansas City area hospital with non-life threatening injuries.

According to Captain Tarik Khatib, the suspect’s vehicle was seen leaving the scene of the crime shortly after the police arrived.

Employees of Mil Spec Security saw the vehicle pulling into an apartment complex at 1600 Haskell Ave. Gac Marris, employee of Mil Spec Security, said they were able to locate the vehicle after hearing the description on a police scanner.

“Immediately after a crime most suspects want to get off the streets,” Marris said. “That’s how most suspects are caught.”

Police later took into custody Preston Gardenhire, 31, Topeka, and Erica Chamberlain, 35, Lawrence. Gardenhire was charged with aggravated battery and Chamberlain was charged with aiding a felon. Both Gardenhire and Chamberlain were booked in the Douglas County jail.

Khatib said Lawrence police were continuing to investigate the circumstances surrounding the shooting.

Employees at Cross Town Tavern refused comment.
