Maurice Hill, the suspect in a hourslong standoff that left six Philadelphia police officers wounded, has a lengthy criminal record going back to the early 2000s, Philadelphia District Attorney Larry Krasner said Thursday.
Public court records show Hill has a 12-page criminal record with a variety of charges, including burglary, aggravated assault, reckless endangerment of another person and gun charges. Not all of the charges resulted in a conviction.
Hill also has a record in the federal system, Krasner said, adding that he has not seen it for himself. “But I have been advised that the record in the federal system includes a lengthy prison sentence in federal prison for weapons,” he said.
“I think it’s clear this man should not have been on the streets,” Krasner said.
