CLEVELAND (AP) A man accused of wounding a Cleveland police officer last July pleaded guilty Tuesday to a related federal weapons charge, prosecutors said.
Darryl Borden, 43, of Cleveland, pleaded guilty to being a felony in possession of a firearm, according to a release from the U.S. Attorney s Office in Cleveland. He faces trial next month on charges of attempted murder and felonious assault of a police officer in state court.
Borden s federal public defender, Jeffrey Lazarus, declined comment.
Authorities allege that Borden “ambushed” two Cleveland police officers responding to a call about a man with a gun, firing multiple rounds from a bathroom when officers opened a door while searching for him.

Cleveland, Ohio – Cleveland police officer Jennifer Kilnapp was almost killed in the line of duty on July 20, 2020, when she was ambushed and shot multiple times searching for a suspect in a house. Kilnapp had been a Cleveland police officer for three years and was training a rookie cop when the shooting happened.
Kilnapp may now be facing a suspension for not activating her body camera prior to the shooting according to Fox 8. The shooting was captured by another officer on the scene.
Her father, John Kilnapp is a retired ATF Agent and told Fox 8 that when his daughter told him she may get suspended for failing to turn on her camera, he thought she was joking. John said that he’s “insulted, to angry, to here’s my daughter who’s got many more bullet holes in her body than she did when my wife and I gave her life.”
