His record dates back to 2000 and includes charges for reckless endangerment and assault, according to court documents. Burley's record dates back to 2004 and includes charges of weapons violations, robbery and other counts, according to court documents.

After being treated for his injuries, Burley was arrested on charges of carrying an unlicensed firearm and carrying a gun in public. He is being held in the Curran-Fromhold Correctional Facility on $250,000 bail, according to court documents. Burley's preliminary court hearing is scheduled for May 8.
