Steven Sheangshang, 45, is charged with assault, robbery, possession of a handgun by a convicted felon, and tampering with physical evidence.
He is also charged with murder of a police officer after police confirmed he was the man who allegedly shot and killed a Scott County deputy during a traffic stop on I-75.
Sheangshang was Bluegrass Crime Stoppers Most Wanted Person of the Week on May 18, 2023, for unlawfully entering and burglarizing a garage. He was also charged with two warrants for burglary when he was arrested.
His arraignment is scheduled for Wednesday, May 24.
