POMPANO BEACH, FL – Broward Sheriff’s Office Violent Crimes Unit detectives and BSO’s SWAT/Fugitive Unit on Sunday arrested a Pompano Beach man wanted for an attempted murder in the city. Detectives also seized six firearms as a result of the arrest.
Detectives say that just after noon on Sunday, March 7, Christopher Barnard Lindsey, 27, shot at a man in the 2800 block of Northwest Fourth Street in Pompano Beach. The victim was struck by two bullets in his left shoulder and his vehicle was also struck by gunfire. The victim received treatment at a nearby hospital.

A week later, on Sunday, March 14, BSO SWAT/Fugitive members took Lindsey into custody at 2767 N.W. Fourth Street on an arrest warrant. During the arrest and during a subsequent search warrant at the residence, detectives seized a Glock handgun, a shotgun, a high capacity magazine and various rounds of ammunition.
