Shooting suspect arrested after manhunt | News

The Pittsburg County Sheriff’s Office said a man accused of shooting a woman in the head in June was arrested Wednesday.

Larry Mickle, 49, was wanted on charges of intent to kill, domestic violence, assault by strangulation and possession of a weapon after previously being convicted of a felony, according to court records.

PCSO said in a social media statement that Mickle was arrested on Wednesday after receiving information about his whereabouts.

“Officers responded to the Bucks of Gaines Creek area, which is northeast of McAlester,” the PCSO statement said. “Mickle was arrested without incident and transported to the Pittsburg County Jail.”

The sheriff’s office said three more people were arrested Wednesday and booked into the Pittsburg County Jail on suspicion of harboring a fugitive.

Mickle is accused of shooting a woman in the head during an altercation at a South Bache Road residence on June 18.

An affidavit in the case states that officers were called to McAlester Regional Health Center after a woman came to the emergency room with a gunshot wound to the head.

The woman told officers that she was at home when she and Mickle got into an argument and the man grabbed her by the neck and choked her when she felt something on her head, the report said.

She “thought it was Larry’s finger until she heard a popping sound and Larry let go of her,” the affidavit states.

According to the report, the woman was unaware she had been shot and was taken to the hospital by a neighbor and later flown by rescue helicopter to a hospital near Tulsa.

Before she was flown to Tulsa, the woman told officers that Mickle owned a “cowboy gun” and she believed he shot her with that gun, the report said.

Officers wrote in their report that when they arrived at the apartment where the shooting occurred, they found the back door open and there was blood on the porch.

A vehicle belonging to the woman was later found abandoned at Dow Lake. Two people told officers they saw another vehicle pull up next to the abandoned vehicle, pick up a person and leave the area, the report said.
