Greg Norman at FoxNews.com reports that Maurice Hill, the
man arrested after shooting six Philadelphia police officers during an
hours-long standoff, had been a federal informant.
The Philadelphia man
accused of shooting six police officers during a lengthy, chaotic standoff last
week has spent time as a federal informant, providing information to the
government “about a shooter that led to an arrest,” a report says, quoting one
of his former attorneys.
Maurice Hill, who faces multiple counts of attempted murder, aggravated
assault and other charges related to the Aug. 14 incident, is known to
have a lengthy criminal record.
But during sentencing in one 2008 case – in which he entered a guilty plea for
being a felon in possession of a firearm -- it was revealed he'd been a
federal informant, according to documents obtained by the news website The Appeal.
