Arrest of Wanted Man

The Sweetwater County Sheriff's Office has arrested a man they say is wanted for attempted murder in a California drive-by shooting. Oreal Belcher was arrested Saturday in Rock Springs without incident. Police say Blecher is wanted in connection with a San Diego shooting. They say his alleged accomplice, Paul Price, was arrested just a couple of hours after the October shooting of a bar bouncer. The bouncer was shot multiple times in the chest, stomach, and arms. After learning that Belcher was in Wyoming, the Sweetwater County Sheriff's Office partenred with the San Diego Police Department and the U.S. Marshall's Office to track Belcher to a home in Rock Springs. He is currently in the Sweetwater County Jail, awaiting extradition to San Diego.
