Two teens charged with shooting at Bibb investigators during traffic stop

Deputies are still investigating.

MACON, Ga. — Bibb County Sheriff's Office investigators arrested two teens Tuesday morning after two Bibb County deputies said someone shot at them on Thomaston Road at Lamar Road, causing them to crash into a utility pole.

According to a news release, investigators identified 18-year-old Xzaydrian Ja’Won Lewis and a 16-year-old boy as the two suspects in the shooting.

After getting interviewed, Lewis was taken to the Bibb County jail and the 16-year-old was taken to the Youth Detention Center.

Lewis is charged with two counts of aggravated assault and possession of a firearm during the commission or attempt of certain felonies. Lewis also has a state court charge of probation violation.

The 16-year-old is charged with aggravated assault.

The two investigators are expected to be okay. 

The Bibb County Sheriff's Office says it all started when deputies tried to pull over a gray Dodge Charger when they thought they saw a suspect wanted in an aggravated assault.

The investigators say after they activated their lights and sirens, someone in the Charger opened fired, causing the investigators to take evasive action, and hit the power pole.

Investigators say they are still working the case. If you have any information, you can call the Bibb County Sheriff’s Office at 478-751-7500 or Macon Regional Crime Stoppers at 1-877-68CRIME.
