Lawrence police Wednesday arrested a 31-year-old Lawrence man charged with firing a gun in a February incident outside an apartment in northern Lawrence.

According to jail records, police took James Carnelous Benimon into custody about 10:45 a.m. in the 1300 block of Delaware Street. Douglas County prosecutors have charged Benimon with criminal discharge of a firearm and criminal possession of a firearm by a felon. Police were looking for a suspect after residents reported hearing and seeing someone fire several shots from one car into another the evening of Feb. 8 outside an apartment in the 1300 block of Michigan Way, near Second and Michigan streets.

Benimon also was arrested on a Lawrence Municipal Court traffic warrant and a warrant in a 2003 Wyandotte County case, according to jail records. According to the Kansas Department of Corrections, Benimon has two 2007 drug possession convictions in Douglas County and a 2001 Wyandotte County conviction for aggravated indecent solicitation.

He is being held on $25,000 bond in the Lawrence case.
