Investigator Paul White, Ardmore Police Department, said Chris Talton was taken into custody shortly after noon Monday. Talton was booked into the county jail on a charge of using a vehicle to facilitate the discharge of a weapon. Talton appeared in district court for initial arraignment Tuesday. A spokesperson at the county jail said today Talton was released from jail after posting bond.
Banks also faces a charge of using a vehicle to facilitate the discharge of a weapon.
The warrant comes less than 60 days after Banks was released from a state penitentiary where he was serving a sentence in connection with a 1995 drive-by shooting. According to police reports, two couples arrived at a 3rd Avenue NE residence after attending a local nightclub where one of the men had been involved in an altercation with at least one of the defendants. When the group arrived at the residence, one of the women noticed a two-door Buick parked at the corner. As the couples got out of the car, shots rang out. The victims took cover and waited for the shooting to end, then notified police.
