Solomon Cottrell Arrested for Shooting at Off-Duty Officer in Irvine
A 27-year-old man named Solomon Cottrell from Los Alamitos has been arrested for allegedly firing shots at an off-duty Irvine police officer early Tuesday morning. The incident began around 2:06 a.m. when the officer noticed a Nissan Altima driving erratically and suspected the driver may be under the influence. After a brief confrontation where Cottrell reportedly yelled obscenities and swerved toward the officer's vehicle, the officer heard a gunshot as Cottrell completed a U-turn and fled the scene. On-duty officers later found shell casings at the location of the gunfire but could not initially locate Cottrell. He was eventually tracked to the Pechanga Casino in Riverside County, where he was taken into custody, and a weapon believed to be used in the shooting was found inside his vehicle. Cottrell has been booked for attempted murder and remains in custody as the investigation continues.
